After her retirement, she did daycare for 5 years and watched her grandchildren. Nancy was a loving, devoted mother and grandmother and a devout Christian. She loved spending time with her family, going to aerobics and coffee with friends, as well as lunch and shopping dates with her cousin, Kathleen and friend, Nancy. Nancy also loved gardening, studying the Bible and reading the word of God, and she was a servant to others. She always said her life calling was to serve and encourage others with the word of God.

The family was also blessed with her wonderful caregiver, Chakia Sumpter who took care of her for the last 2 years, loved her and brought her so much joy.
