She lived most of her life in St. Cloud and worked as an Office Manager for Midwest Compliance for 23 years. Nance enjoyed shopping, flower gardening, playing cards, hosting parties, motorcycle rides, reading, and going to restaurants. She loved spending time with her family more than anything. They enjoyed bonfires and hayrides together. Nance’s nieces and nephews and great niece and nephews were her pride and joy. She will be remembered for her selfless and genuine heart, thoughtfulness and compassion. Nance simply wanted everyone around her to be happy. Most importantly, she was proud of her family, home, and beautiful flower gardens.
