Nanci was passionate about family, friends, reading, music, and traveling. Nanci loved to travel! She spent every fall traveling to the east coast, ultimately ending up in her home away from home, the state of Rhode Island. She traveled with a motto of "Not all who wander are lost".

She had so many friends! She had her Road Dog Louise, her dinner night ladies, her out of state friends, and the sister-n-law club. She was the Biggest Bruce Springsteen fan out there, and loved rooting for her Yankees!

Her greatest Pride and Joy was her family! She had four sons that loved her unconditionally! She was blessed with four daughter-in-laws who she called "her girls". She had ten grandchildren that filled her life with a breath of fresh air. They each had a special place in the pockets of her heart!
