    Nancy was baptized on February 7, 1981, as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and a member of the Circleville, Ohio congregation.   She was faithful to her God, Jehovah, and looked forward to the future promises for the earth to be fulfilled.   

    The family would like to thank Dr. Robert Violette for his care over the years, Logan Elm Health Care, and ProMedica Hospice Care (especially Shannon and Randy), for the wonderful care she received during her short time there.
