Nancy was a devoted aunt to her 21 nieces and nephews. Nancy is also survived by many amazing friends. Nancy devoted countless hours to volunteering in the Akron community. Some of the many recipients of her generosity included St. Vincent Elementary School St. Vincent-St Mary High School the Junior League of Akron Akron Children's Hospital Women's Board and many other causes. Nancy or Nana to many was the most generous thoughtful and selfless person you could imagine. There was no person or occasion that didn't warrant a card and thoughtful gift. She opened her home and heart to everyone -- she knew no stranger. It was amazing to see these attributes continue until the very end. Nancy loved to travel with her family. She took thousands of photos could spend hours on the beach and thought every sunset was breathtaking. Nana was especially grateful for the past six years when she got to spend time with her three grandchildren. They would always bring a smile to her face. The family would like to thank Dr. Trochelman and his staff. As Nana would say 'They're the best.' We would also like to thank everyone for their overwhelming show of love and support.
