I’ve known Nancy for for many years through LaGrange CC.
She always had a smile and was warm and generous. I can hear her voice now. A sweet lady who seemed to enjoy life.
Blessings to all the family on her passing.
I will miss her.
I met Nancy at Hinsdale Community House where we gathered to play bridge every Tuesday and Thursday…she was excellent
Player. I enjoyed hearing the stories She shared as she fondly spoke of her family and husband Fred. She was a strong yet gentle woman.
I miss my aunt so much. Cindy
