Through the years, Nancy worked at Parishville School, Walt Collins Insurance and retired from Nicholville Telephone Company, where she was the Office Manager. She was devoted to her faith as a communicant of St. Patrick Church and a member of the Altar Rosary Society. She enjoyed her friends in the Tri Town Senior Citizens, the Monday Night Pitch Club, the LBSH Card Parties, and the monthly class reunions with the class of 1959 members. Playing cards and bowling were activities in which she showed her competitive spirit. Nancy had a great strength of character; she beat cancer over 30 years ago, and tried to beat it once again, while never losing the selflessness and compassion for others.
