Nancy was spunky and stubborn as a child, and still stubbornas an adult. She was a loving and caringperson, always concerned about other people. Nancy and her sister, Carol, would consistently donate to the old BethelFood Pantry, to help out in any way that they could. They loved to do plastic canvas craftprojects together. Nancy especiallyloved it when someone would ask for something a little different, so that shecould figure out the new pattern and how to make it work. Nancy and Carol would do the prep &jumble solvers together every Sunday, racing to see which one would get donefirst, and then Nancy would ask Carol to help her solve the puzzle in thepaper, in which Carol would laugh. Nancywill truly be missed.
