Nancy's life was marked by her vibrant career as a radio DJ for WFSP in Kingwood, WV and in radio sales for WIOT in Toledo, Ohio, where she enjoyed making connections with people. She possessed an extensive wealth of knowledge in genealogical research, demonstrating her commitment not only to uncovering personal histories but also to preserving the legacies of those who came before her. One of her greatest genealogical accomplishments was proving to be a direct descendant of the Mayflower Settlers, and being recognized as one of the First Families of Ohio.

After going to Ohio State University and then to Ohio University, Nancy had the opportunity to live in Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Canada. Her favorite place was at her cottage on Wamplers Lake, Michigan with her family and spending the winters on a the beach in Florida.
