Nancy enjoyed her time spent outdoors, whether it was deer hunting or fishing along the peaceful banks of the Mississippi River. Her younger years were marked by adventures in commercial fishing with her father, a chapter of her life where she learned the value of hard work and the joy of reaping the rewards of a day spent on the water. Her love for cooking was legendary among those who knew her, with homemade noodles, delicious rolls, and fried chicken that were staples at family gatherings.

Each moment was precious, a chance to share laughter and create memories that would outlast her own lifetime.</p><p><br></p><p>Pallbearers will be Kaden Kruse, Aaron Page, Bill Hedgpeth, Bill Shrum, Richard Lane, and Benjamin Lane.</p><p><br></p><p>Memorial contributions may be made to James O'Donnell Funeral Home to assist with funeral expenses.</p>June 3, 1938 - February 3, 202506/03/193802/03/2025
