Nancy loved her family and always went above and beyond for them.  If you knew her, she was a loving person who loved life.  She was very quick-witted and could always make us laugh under any circumstance.  We know she is at peace.  She went home to our Lord God and is now with her loving husband and family. As she would always say “I’ll see you when I see you”.  We would like to thank St. Joseph’s Nursing Home and its Staff for all their fine care.
