Family came first for Nancy and she enjoyed being actively involved in all of their lives. She was a keen life-long learner and attended Kwantlen College (journalism) and Simon Fraser University (social sciences) when she was in her sixties.

Nancy was active in her church, a long time school trustee in Terrace, with a term as Chair. A 57 year member of the Order of the Eastern Star serving as Worthy Matron and a Grand Representative for the Thornhill Chapter # 85. As well, Nancy was active in many auxiliaries, including meals on wheels and cancer dressing.

Nancy was always willing to give a hand to help those in need.

Nancy was honored for her community involvement by having a street named after her in Terrace (Orr Place).

The School District recognized Nancy’s tireless work in establishing the REM Lee Theatre by awarding her two life-long seats in her name at the REM Lee Theatre in Terrace.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 19, 2014, 2pm, at St. Edward’s Anglican Church, Oliver B.C.
