Nancy was born in Virginia Beach and spent her youth growing up in Shadowlawn, Much of her time was spent at the Virginia Beach oceanfront and boardwalk, creating colorful stories and memories. Nancy’s tales of her young adulthood, shared by friends, provided lots of laughs and comfort to her family in her final days. Nancy spent nearly every summer day at the south end of the beach with her children. Later in life she was a doting and loving “Mimi”, to her eight grandchildren. James and Nancy have a beloved cockapoo, Quigley, who never left her side.
