Nancy had a loving and free-spirited heart. She was educated in the Natick, MA school systems. She had a career working with circuit boards to build electronic equipment with her most recent 12-year employment at Dover Flexo Electronics in Rochester NH, until she became disabled in 2019. She collected crystals and gems from mines she enjoyed visiting. Nancy was quite creative with her beadwork jewelry craft. She donated many of her creations in honor of family and friends lost to cancer, plus blessing her family, friends, and anyone in need, with her lovely handiwork.
