She loved attending school and sporting events. The Mets and Raiders were her favorite sports teams. She visited the Mets stadiums with her grandmother and later her daughter. Two of her favorite trips to take were to New York City and Ocean City, NJ. She shared her love of baseball with her grandson Parker and happily attended little league games for both grandchildren. She enjoyed camping throughout her life. Nancy blessed the lives of those she loved on a regular basis, always supporting her family and being involved in their lives. She was such a considerate person, surprising Nichole, Parker and Lexi with coffee or shamrock shakes and phone calls. Nancy was a retired pediatric RN. She touched the lives of so many people and was not one to boast about herself. Her favorite topics of conversation revolved around her grandchildren and her daughter and son-in-law.
