I worked with Nancy for many years at Equitable. I so enjoyed her stories of trips and outings with her nieces and nephews. She was a wonderful co-worker; kind, encouraging, had much patience, and always a laugh at lunch break! She was the coordinator of Equitable reunions of people she had worked with, and we so appreciated all the work that went into those fun times!
Know that she is with the Angels now.
Sincerely,
Luann

Rest in peace Nancy. A little girl who was my neighbor.
She was a very sweet lady and always glad to see someone from home. I am sure her friends and family will miss her. My sympathies to you Darwin and Pam and family.
