Nancy loved to cook for her family and her favorite hobby was “Bingo”. Nancy owned two restaurants back in the day and always greeted you with a smile. She worked in the pants factory and then became the cook at her son’s bar. She loved being surrounded by her family, which was a very large family that never stopped growing. Nancy loved the holidays and being able to see everyone, all in all she was loved by many.
