Nancy was born in Rochester NY in April of 1949. She worked for Kodak in her early years followed by years of private childcare.

God Bless you and your family Kurt as you celebrate your Mom and the wonderful memories you have of her.

Tom and family,
So very sorry to hear this sad news. Nancy was a wonderful woman who cared so much for others. Glad I saw her a few years ago. She always brightened up a room with her smile and laugh. Sending prayers for you all.
Tom,
I am so sorry to hear of your wife’s passing. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Jenny,
Though I only met your sweet momma once, I can tell how dearly she was loved by so many. A sudden loss like this is devastating beyond words. I ache for your pain. I am so sorry for the heartache of your earthly loss. What a blessing to have the Hope of heaven and the promise of Jesus words that He will come again for His own. You and your family have been in our thoughts and prayers through this most heart wrenching time. “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:1-3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33 If there is anything we can do, please let us know.
love you, Rebecca Krebs
