She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and countless friends she has made throughout her life. Nancy actively participated in everything she was involved in. During her years of schooling at St. Florian, she was part of the yearbook club. Her love of music lead to her involvement in school musicals and singing in a band, The Edge, in high school. She was also a member of the Babcia Club. She became the Secretary of the Class of 1972, and helped to plan High School reunions for decades following graduation. She forged lifelong bonds through her participation in Girl Scouts, later becoming a Leader for her daughters’ troop, earning the title Mrs. McMom by the girls she led. Motherhood was her true calling, and the abundant love she had for her children was deep and generous. Her love shined brightly through the participation in her children’s activities and interests, sharing her love of cooking and baking, and expressing her creative flair through arts and crafts. She was the Tacky Glue that kept her family and friends together. Nancy shared her outgoing spirit and genuine kindness with everyone she met. She was a social creature, enjoying things like hosting Tupperware parties. She loved finding a reason to celebrate. She single-handedly kept Hallmark in business, often sending everyone multiple cards for holidays and occasions we didn’t even know existed… Christmas, being her favorite. Nancy’s caregiving nature led her to get her associate's degree later in life, renewing her passion for helping others. She took on various medical clerk roles in several area hospitals through the years. She was heavily involved in the Bariatric Program, helping to coordinate and educate patients. Nancy will be greatly missed by her family and friends. The love she gave and kindness she showed will live on through all the lives she has touched.
