Nancy and Dick loved travelling, going to community events or just sharing a quiet meal together.  She enjoyed the soap opera, Days of Our Lives, word searches, collecting Boyd's Bears and getting her nails as well as her hair done.  Most of all, Nancy loved her family and going to her children and grandchildren's activities.
