Nancy loved her family dearly and truly adored her grandchildren. She was affectionately known as “Granny” to all of them, and she cherished spending time with them. Nancy enjoyed video poker and going with her husband, James and their friends from Pasadena on many trips to Laughlin, Nevada. She enjoyed going for walks for its calming and therapeutic effects. Nancy missed James very much, and had difficult times after his passing. She will forever be remembered for her love of card games, especially Texas Hold’em, that she learned from her family at a very young age. Nancy will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
