Her family takes immense comfort in knowing that she is no longer weighed down by the burdens of this world. Nancy is reveling in ever lasting peace in the presence of her Savior. She has at last joined her husband in Heaven for whom she has longed each day since his passing.</p><p><br></p><p>The Giffin family will receive guests from 1 to 2 pm on Saturday, February 22, 2025 at the Snyder Funeral Homes, Lexington Avenue Chapel where a memorial service will be held immediately after.</p><p><br></p><p>Snyder Funeral Homes is honored to serve Nancy’s family and encourage you to share a fond memory or message of condolence on her obituary page at www.SnyderFuneralHomes.com</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>January 7, 1947 - February 8, 202501/07/194702/08/2025
