Nancy was a 1958 graduate of Forrest-Strawn-Wing High School and was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Forrest, where she loved to sing. She especially loved meeting friends at coffee and hosting pizza nights with family. Nancy loved being a mom and grandma. She always said it was the only job she ever wanted, and she was good at it! She will be remembered for her beautiful smile and memorable laugh.
A special thanks to Fairview Haven and OSF Hospice for their compassion, care and support.
