We are very sad to learn of Nancy’s passing. She was a lovely person always so cheerful and engaging. We so enjoyed our hikes together back in the days. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
With our deepest sympathy,

I met Nancy and Jeff shortly after moving into my new house in the area in Sept.2021. Our dog walks often coincided. She always shared one of Baxter's treats with my dog Lola. They were aware that I had recently lost my husband two weeks prior to moving into our dream home. They were most kind and supportive. Nancy once told me that she could not imaging living alone. I am so happy that she did not have to. I am so sorry that Jeff has to experience that tremendous void. Although I did not know Nancy that long, I immediately knew what a kind, generous and thoughtful soul she was. She truly contributed to making the world a better place. I am so grateful that our paths crossed. My deepest condolences to Jeff and the rest of the family.
