    I worked under Nancy at Greenville Hospital. I enjoyed working with her.
    Praying for the family as you all learn to live life on earth without her.
    Keep her memories and smile alive…
    Blessings and love

    We loved our Aunt Nancy! Spunky and sure of what she wanted in life! When she married our Uncle Bill it was a happy day for all of us. She was so sweet to our mom Esther Shaffer and each and everyone of us kids! Aunt Nancy is in heaven with her husband and all her Greenville family and friends. Love you Aunt Nancy! You will always be in our hearts.

    Dear family of Nancy,

    I was one of the fortunate young nurses to work with Nancy. She shared her love of nursing, her faith and family with me. When I came in to the church at St. Michael’s she was there. She attended my wedding as I did hers. May she Rest In Peace in the hands of our loving Father,
    Peace and prayers, hold your memories in your hearts forever.
