Nancy had a strong work ethic and was passionate about her job. She spent over 20 years in the banking industry. She started off as a teller at Micro Switch Credit Union for many years before moving on to what is now U.S. Bank, working her way up to becoming an Assistant Vice President of Commercial Business at the end of her career. She cherished the relationships she built with her customers and colleagues throughout the years. Nancy will be remembered for her true excitement over the small things in life and her willingness to help others in need. She prided herself on finding just the right special gifts to give others and saved practically every card when someone sent her one. She was also someone that was just a phone call away and would drop everything to listen or help in any way she could. Some of her happiest memories were spending time with her daughter (Brittney) and granddaughter (Maddie). Maddie will remember spending a lot of quality time with her Nana over the past few years. They enjoyed reading books, dancing to music, and being creative together. They had a special bond and Nana's memory will live on forever with her family.
