Nancy was a life long member of Parsons Baptist Church and made many wonderful lasting friendships throughout the years there.

After retiring from Alliance Data she then enjoyed traveling with her sister Linda and brother in law Ron across the country, she enjoyed cruises with her son Glen, Funbus day trips, and on Friday nights she could be found playing bingo with friends.

Nancy was an avid reader, she passed down her love of reading to her children and grandchildren.

She shared her love for jigsaw puzzles with her daughters and spent many hours playing tripoley with her family.

Nancy survived raising 7 children, 5 were daughters! She was an amazing Mother, with patience and a sense of humor, even after we accidentally dumped her out of a wheelchair. ( and maybe breaking 3 ribs) We always knew we were loved. We were lucky enough to be able to spend Sundays with her as a family, having lunch, playing cards and just reminiscing about our childhood memories together.

Nancy is survived by a host of extended family, friends and neighbors.

Family will receive friends at Cotner Funeral Home, 7369 E. Main St., Reynoldsburg. 5-7 p.m. Thursday July 31st and Funeral at 12 p.m. on Friday August 1st.

The family would like to thank the staff at Tuscany Gardens and Bella Hospice for the care and love they gave mom during her 3 years stay.
