Nancy's pride and joy are he daughters, Abby and Anna Kate. Nancy and Todd never missed a chance to travel, especially to the beach, her happy place. She loved to spend time with her family and hardly ever missed her nephews' sporting events. Her passion was working with children, and every child she taught loved Ms. Nancy. She cherished her friends and was always up for great time. She loved to be home with her family and all her pets. She was very proud of her family.
No one loved watching football and cheering for the Tennessee Volunteers or Chicago Cubs more than her. Nancy believed that everything should be monogrammed. Her strength was her spirit of love and compassion. She had an endless amount of love for her people.
Nancy had an infectious laugh and could light up a room. Everywhere she went, she never met a stranger. No matter where she traveled or went, she always ran into somebody she knew. She definitely had a love for life. Everybody knows Nancy, and we are all better for knowing her.
