Nancy went to school in Clawson and graduated in 1974. She worked in the food service industry. Some of her fondest memories were from Augies in Madison Heights, where she worked as a server, bartender, and manager.
She met lifelong friends there and was known for her ability to put together great parties, games, etc.
Nancy’s quick wit, laughter, and sense of humor brought so much joy to all who knew her. Even in death she helped others as an organ donor.
