I have such fond memories of Nancy from high school -- she was one of the most active people on the yearbook staff, and succeeded in creating TWO versions of the yearbook dedication for our senior year, so we were able to surprise Mrs. Styers (who was the journalism teacher and yearbook advisor) with the dedication. Without her that could not have happened, and that thoughtfulness seems to have been a hallmark of her life. My heart goes out to her family.

Lucie, my memories and thoughts about Nancy match yours. I am so sad to hear of her passing. She is held dear in my memories of high school.

I am very sad about learning of the recent passing of Nancy, as well as Becky McDowell only a few months ago. We were all three close friends in High School but loss touch over the years as so many of us do.
I pray that they left us peacefully with little to no pain. My heart goes out to the families.
