Nancy was a friend of my heart . She and Marve were good friends of John and I socially and at church small group for years. When John got the call for his lung transplant I was not in town. Marve drove him, and Nancy held his hand all the way to Loyola. Our family is indebted to her kindness. We miss you already, Nancy! What a victorious fighter you’ve been, inspiring us all.
Nancy was one of the first people I met when I joined the Living Springs Community Church family. She always had a kind word, a smile, and a listening ear for me. I will miss her smile and her presence in our midst. Praying for Marv and their family.
God bless all of you as you gather together to honor Nancy and celebrate her new life with King Jesus in the Mansions of Glory.
My mom and I worked with Nancy at the Clinic. She touched both our lives in many ways. Her kindness will never be forgotten. My deepest condolences to the family.

I will always remember Nancy’s warmth & smiling face every time I had a chance to chat with her. One of the brightest faces at Living Springs. Have missed her being there & now will miss her til we meet in heaven. May the Lord give you peace & keep you in His arms, Marv.
So sorry to hear about Nancy’s passing, Marve. I will miss her too. She was such a nice person and it was fun to be with her.
