Nancy was wonderful, amazing, beautiful and so very kind. Nancy was loved so much, by her husband Ken Madden, her son Jason Madden, her daughter Melissa (Joshua) Nystedt and grandson Owen Nystedt. Nancy was our world and we are trying to figure out how our lives will be without her….Our lives were amazing because of her. Anyone who knew Nancy knows what a special person she was. We are heartbroken.
