My deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. We worked together at Lancaster Regional for many years, I met her when my office was on the same floor as the IT department years back. We always had time to chat and say hello. We often passed each other in the hallway when she was arriving and most recently when she would stop by the coffee shop. She was a special lady and touched many, “RIP sweet Nancy”. Blessings to all who share in your loss. Bonnie Goloski

I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom / grandmother will be greatly missed.
It’s been a few years since I’ve seen Nancy but when ever I had the chance to speak with her, even briefly, it always resulted in a moment of laughter. She and my mom were always the best of friends and growing up around those two ladies being together was huge fun.
Your family is in our prayers. God bless you all.

Sorry for the family’s loss. Worked with Nancy for many years at the hospitals (Community Hospital and Lancaster Regional). She was quite a pip. Saw her through the good times and the worst of times (when she lost Jeffrey). Was quite surprised to see the obituary. Didn’t expect this so soon after she retired.

I am lost for words and so shocked! We were friends for almost 40 yrs and we would read goofy magazines! Have lots of long talks about our children! We would act so silly sometimes and had many laughs together! I would surprise her and buy her clothes which she to really appreciate! She was always thoughtful to my son Justin who is special needs! She would always sends him cards! We were pregnant together with our last children! Only I had 1 big one and she came out having twins! But I was so much bigger than her! Years ago she had a void in her life when she lost her son! Every year I would send a thinking of you card on his death date October! She is with her Jeff now and at peace- her life was never the same without him! Even then we didn’t see other the past 2 yrs- she never left my heart! I feel for her family! She would only tell me she only lives for her grandchildren! Good bye Nancy and you will an angel of God with your son Jeff! Love ya girlfriend! Greg& Deb Shaeffer& always Justin.
