Nancy enjoyed spending time with and training her dogs, singing, listening to gospel music, cooking, sewing, playing cards, and playing the slot machines. Nancy loved animals, and helped with local feral cats, rabbits, and deer. Most of all, Nancy cherished her time with family, both near and far. Nancy was a generous and caring person, and will be missed by many.
