To the family, My sympathies for your loss. I will always remember Nancy’s smile and her laugh, she brought joy to everyone she met. She is the one that introduced me to snicker “salad” at a family birthday party, now that is my kind of salad. Rest peacefully Nancy, you will be missed.

We will greatly miss Nancy at Quilt Haven on Main Quilt Shop. She had such a heart for the mission of Quilts of Valor and McCloud County vets. It was a joy to be with her, and the others, each time the Quilts of Valor sewing ladies came to the quilt shop. She had some amazing stories to share, and her legacy will go on for years. Praying for peace and comfort for your family in this time of loss. Beth Hoeg (Quilt Haven on Main staff)

Dear Wes, Sue, Karen, Corey and family,
I remember Nancy very well. Your family lived across the street from Todd, Heather and me on Jorgenson Street. Nancy was a very
friendly and kind neighbor. She shared Jesus’ love with us and with many people throughout her life. I know you will certainly miss her.
Your family was very friendly and helpful to us, too.
Karla Gehrke-Johnson says
To Nancy’s family,
I remember many fun times with Sue and Karen while growing up. We lived on Hassan Street and Karen was always kind and loving to Kim and I. That’s probably why we were over so often. I have fond memories of her, teaching elementary school, too. I’m sorry for your loss yet happy for Heaven’s gain. Blessings to you all.
