She was my best friend.
My dad walked mom and grandma down the aisle at my wedding then came back to get me. A bit un-traditional but I’m so glad she was there.
When sherry and I were married we went to her house one day there was an earthquake tremor that day and Nancy looked out the window and said Gary what did you do I never did know she was joking or not but I love you’re like a second mom. I will miss her dearly may she rest in peace garyjett
My condolences to all of the kids Tom Chuck and Mike have all been like true brothers to me sherry and Anna I’m sure Nancy was always proud of you she could not have asked for a more supportive and loving family when I went to Jessica’s wedding I gave her a card from my mom the card ready don’t worry Jessica something more important than even family called me away God but don’t worry about me there’s plenty of chocolate up here in heaven and I never have to worry about gaining weight I’m sure Nancy is right next to Larry now and she’s in good hands my heart goes out to all of you and I wish you all the best with all my love garyjett

Thank you mom for all of the wonderful memories. So many times you did without so that we didn’t. I love you and miss you and will carry you in my heart forever. Sherrie
I worked with Nancy at the Southport Library and she was a sweetheart. Always upbeat and fun. I know she loved her family dearly! My sympathy to you all. Kathy Helmond
My sympathy to all. Nancy and I met in 4th grade at St. James the Greater. We were always first in line for everything because of our height or the lack of it. When we graduated 8th. grade we went to different high schools so didn’t keep up with each other much. My kids surprised me with a 60th birthday party almost 13 years ago and the biggest surprise was Nancy and Butch. My thought and prayers go out to you all. May Nancy rest in the arms of our Lord.

I hope you enjoy working in the beautiful gardens of heaven.
A few special moments with mom/grandma Ulrey.

My aunt Nancy was one of the happiest and kindest people I ever met. I loved her very much.
Love you mom, I will miss your greatly
I meet Nancy when I was about 9, Sherrie was my big sister in the Big Sister/Little Sister Program. Nancy and Larry greeted me with Love and smiles. It was always the same no matter when I saw her. She really loved her family. She was Love, and it shows still til this day in her kids and her grandkids. The fruits of her labor were not invain. Nancy will be truly missed, but we have memories and most importantly her unconditional true LOVE for everyone. Enjoy heaven Nancy!
