She was an avid supporter of the Milwaukee Brewers and the Green Bay Packers, cheering them on season after season. Above all, Nancy was a loving and caring person, always prioritizing her family. She took great pride in caring for her children, and her nurturing nature was felt by everyone who knew her.
