Dear Nancy, You were there for me so often that it's tough to narrow it down for 'easy-reading'! When I went to work in Yosemite the first time, you and Bill welcomed me into your home like a long lost daughter. You showed me the sights in San Francisco and you and Valerie drove me to the mountains to start my summer job which ended up becoming my 'career'. You kept your home and heart so open to me and later Troian, then Robert and Brandon. You and Grandma Betty came to visit Troian as a newborn and treated her as your own grandchild before and after you were finally blessed with your own grandchildren. You hosted my future husband for many months while he took care of business, and commiserated with him when he dealt with hip issues similar to yours. Your children, Valerie and John, have treated me as much closer family than second cousins, and they have warmed my heart with much needed friendship.
You offered me many gifts and blessings over the years I spent in California, along with valuable advice I occasionally heeded. You honored me and my loved ones with your love and acceptance, and I will miss your open arms and ready words of scolding or comfort (as the situation needed). You have been my tie to my mom when I felt too far away to love, and your stories are part of my history. I love you and miss you, but I am so grateful for the time we spent together. Thank you for including me in your life. God blesses you, and you blessed us.

I remember Nancy as a warm, thoughtful "Aunt." Her laudable efforts to promote and dedicate the Women's Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery are a lasting testament to her perseverence, and to her spirit. I am proud of her service to our country and to the community, and of her dedication to family. May God bless her and keep her close.

Aunt Nancy was always around at certain gatherings with I got to come to family reunions and I always found her warm, talkative, and kind. As I was a child for most of it my memories mostly start about 10 years ago, her and grandma were always "two cards" I believe is the phrase :-). Please take care in these times Valerie, John, David, Alaina, and Caden. Remembering the good times and time together I have always found to be better than thinking the passed are gone. No one would want you to mourn and be sad forever, because we all love the time we do have so best to cherish the memories. Take care.
BTW I'm Mary Cummings son if doesn't come to mind quickly.

Nancy dear,
I wish I could be there for your memorial
service today. But I wasn't able to figure
out how to do it. But your old Central
classmate will be thinking fondly of you.
is thinking fondly of you. There are teen age memories of long talks on a bench in front of our twin apartment buildings accross from Central, marching with the Girl Cadets, graduation and then both going into the Cadet Nurse Corp. You going to Flower Fifth Ave and me to Mount Vernon. We lost track of one another,
until reuniting with each other in Aptos at St. Andrews over 25 years later. Amazing! You became best friends with my BFF - Celeste. Nancy, I treasure the time we have been able to spend together - the laughter, the tears, & sharing stories. Much love
Jean

Nancy was my "big sister', spiritually, that is.
I met Nancy nearly 20 years ago, when we (Aptos VFW) were having our Poppy Drive at the Aptos Post Office. Nancy told us that she, also, was a "veteran", whereupon my partner for the afternoon said that he was sorry that we had no "Ladies Auxiliary" at the Aptos VFW Post. Nancy, abruptly responded that she "did not wish to join a Ladies Auxiliary, but rather the Veterans organization proper"! After all, she was a veteran in her own right! Nancy was very proud to be a U.S. military veteran encouraged the acceptance and recognition of women's accomplishments in the armed services.
That chance meeting set the stage for the next twenty years. Nancy became one of our most active veterans' advocate, assisting countless veterans and their families in their time of need.
Nancy always gave of herself and became a great friend to me, as well as the community. She loved to wear her "Women are Veterans Too!" T-shirt!
We often traveled together, attending veterans' meetings and seminars, serving on committees together, and attending the funerals of our fallen comrades-in-arms.
I will always think of Nancy as my big sister...and I miss her already.

There are so many memories - around your table, on the phone, luncheons at the Tea Room, bedside in the Emergency Room or Intensive Care, or sitting beside you in church and wiping our tears at a special moment. Thank you for sharing your life and your love, Nancy. I already miss you beyond words. Love always, Celeste
