She had a special love for people and animals. Nancy was a member of Family Worship Center for 17 years and loved her church family. Nancy would often help the local homeless and went on several missionary trips to Honduras. Nancy worked as a waitress at several local restaurants over many years. She enjoyed going to bingo, courtroom drama TV, crocheting, sun bathing and dining out. She especially enjoyed lobster, crab legs and steamed clams.
