I worked with Nancy for CCSD. She was a caring & beautiful woman. May precious memories of your years with her fill your minds in the weeks to come. God’s peace.
Aunt Nance will forever be in my heart, a quick story I will never forget, roughly 23 years ago heading to church down at the Ozarks at sun up ??♂️with Grandma and Grandpa ( Norm and Geri Kremer ) and Uncle Ken and Aunt Nance. We were cruising in that old boat Lincoln 40 minutes from the condo for church lol I was being a restless shit in the back seat and Grandpa started to get a little frustrated with me to say the least, Aunt Nance had leaned over to me and whispered if I didn’t shape up I I wouldn’t be fishing with her and Grandpa when we got back to the lake. In a 10 year olds eyes that was a big deal, also about 3/4 through mass Grandpa leaned over and told me since I was so good we were going out for lunch on the boat ? if it wasn’t for Aunt Nancy starting the morning with taking something big away lol I wouldn’t have gotten the best thing ever a boat ride on the old pontoon which we still own. Much love to my family, my fellow Kremer’s. I hope y’all understand why my dad, brother n I couldn’t make it, but trust that we send love. It’s been a very hard year for all of us if you know what I mean. Uncle Ken I love you ❤️
I have such fond memories of Nancy at Lyons Middle School with the smile smile and positive attitude that she always had. She was a special lady who showed true caring for others. I’m sorry that I can not attend her service, but my thoughts and prayers are with all of her family and friends.
The most loving Grandmother, Mother and Great Grandmother any of us could of asked for. She taught us how to love, care and above all go through life with faith! Heaven has received a great woman full of wisdom and kindness who had a heart of gold that will now shine down on all of us as she lives in the glory of god. Love you Grandma, Miss you tremendously!!!
Nancy was a blessing to all who knew her. May she rest in peace.
