Nancy was born on November 16, 1932, in Keokuk, Iowa to John Quentin and Dulcie Foulkes. She graduated from Keokuk High School, receiving the Business and Professional Women's Award. Three days after graduation, Nancy went to work for the Keokuk Steel Casting Co. In 1955, she married William Schowalter, and they were blessed with three children David, Daniel and Jeanne. William’s job required moves that took them to Danville, Illinois, and Des Moines, Iowa. Nancy was employed at Work Force Development and retired in 1997.

Nancy was especially thankful for her daily walk with the Lord, her loving, caring family, socializing with faithful friends, and helpful neighbors. She especially looked forward to getting together with her family and Sundays evening suppers.

Nancy is survived by her children, David (Pam), Daniel, Jeanne (Mark) Kutsch; five grandchildren, Sarah and Anne Kutsch, Jaime Norton, Zachary and Justin (Julie) Schowalter; four great-grandchildren, Sadee, Masen, Ben, and Avery; and her cousins.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband.
