Nancy was born in Perth Ontario and attended school in her hometown. She spent her working career living in Stittsville working for the federal government. Just prior to retirement, she was able to return to her childhood home where she dedicated her retirement life to her grandchildren and simple pleasures such as gardening, swimming, baking and staying active.
It was important to Nancy to gather her entire family several times a year. Her family cherishes the many memories they made together and Nancy's dedication to these gatherings instilled the core values of family life and love that will continue to bond them together. 
The family would like to thank all the staff at the Smiths Falls Hospital, the Kingston General Hospital and her family doctor, Dr. Kennie for the excellent care and services provided.
