Nancy owned and operated her own house cleaning business, it was a passion and she was dedicated to her clients. She enjoyed flower arranging, shopping and being with her friends. She found comfort volunteering at Shepherd’s Closet in Gibson City where she made new friends every day and enjoyed visiting with them. However, she was happiest with a Diet Coke. Her soft smile and kind heart will be missed by all that knew and loved her.
