I am so sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. When I moved to Richland 10 years ago, I decided to join a bowling league at Richland Lanes as a way to meet new people, even though I had never bowled before. Nancy was one of the experienced bowlers on our team and was very patient with me because I am a terrible bowler! Even though I only bowled with her for 2 years, I would see her at Mass at St. Ann's church. My condolences to the family.

My condolences to her family. I am friends with her extended family and a member of Christ Temple Church for 38 years. I remember her dad and loved and respected him highly. I met and talked with Nancy on her visits to the church many times and will miss her.

I met Nancy and Bernie in1973 while I was married to Claude Dean. Bernie and Claude were "friends of Bill". We both remained friends until their deaths. I introduced my new husband to them and we Bowled with Nancy and played cards and shared supper with them once a month. We always had such a good time and shared so many laughs. I will miss them so much. Nancy and I were able to have one last lunch at the bowling alley just before she found out she too had cancer. I could not believe it when she called to tell me. Even though I tried many times to call her that was the last time I spoke to her. I will miss my dear longtime friend very much. I know Bernie is waiting with his arms wide open.

Aunt Nancy was our primary contact to understand more of the history of our Fathers (Paddock Side) of our family. Her brother Glenn ( our father and husband to our mother, Esther) passed on relatively early in our family's lives. It created a void in understanding the Paddock side of our history. Thank goodness for Aunt Nancy! It seemed she transcended our Dad's gregarious personality when she was around us to help us get through our rough loss. We certainly needed and appreciated that! She always seemed to have the right comforting answers to the questions we asked. Ever so proudly, she explained patiently and thoughtfully how things were growing up in her family and let us imagine how things were. Brilliant! More than an Aunt, she was always a close friend of the family and will truly be lovingly remembered by all of us, Always. Esther Paddock and Family
