Nancy enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, listening to gospel, country and bluegrass music and taking trips to West Virginia and other places. The last year and a half of her battle with cancer, she especially enjoyed the simple pleasures of holding her granddaughter, “baby” Danette on her lap, and receiving hugs, kisses and hand massages from her grandchildren.
