She loved baking and won several ribbons at the Colorado State Fair. She loved spending time with her grandchildren, laughter, Cripple Creek, golfing at Patty Jewett and socializing. Nancy had an adventurous spirit and was quite a character.

Her laughter filled the air where ever she went. What a beautiful gift.

Chaeli and Pam,
My heart is with you, now and always. I have fond memories of your Mom; venturing downtown to have lunch with her at the bank, the many nights I spent at your house, the wonderful sound of her laughter. I guess we grow up expecting that, at some time, our Mothers will pass on. But, when they do, it leaves an empty place that we never could have imagined.
I pray you find moments of peace and comfort. I love you both, very much.
