Growing up in the Camptown area, Nancy attended the Camptown High School, and would later graduate from the Wyalusing Valley High School, with the class of 1957.

After several moves across the country in their early marriage, Dick and Nancy finally settled on the former Hawley farm on Crow Hill Road, Wyalusing, PA.  She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who was always ready with a home cooked meal for family, friends and even the periodic delivery man who Dick would invite in for a bite to eat.  In addition to being a wonderful cook and baker, Nancy knew her way around a sewing machine and quilting needle.  She created many beautiful outfits, blankets and pillows for her family and friends.  She had been active in many church, community and school functions.
