Nancy enjoyed gardening, going to garage sales, listening to music and attending music festivals. She was an avid Iowa Hawkeyes sports fan and took great pride in being one of the few women on press row at Iowa Hawkeyes games doing statistics for Ron Gonder. Nancy loved family events and attending the activities of her nieces and nephews. She will be missed by those who knew and loved her.
