I was lucky to have 31 special years with my Nana. Full of art dates, baking, golf games, mornings at her kitchen island eating imperial cheese omelettes, conversations about fashion, design, travels, language, etc, and Sunday dinners at my parent's house sitting in their backyard which was truly one of her happy places. She had the ability to find profound joy in the smallest moments often exclaiming “aren’t we lucky” regardless of where we were and what we were doing, and we were. To have so many years together laughing, creating, and enjoying each other’s company was a gift I will never take for granted. A fierce advocate for travel and experience, she championed any and all of my adventures, checking in with weekly emails sharing sentiments and stories, usually also away exploring a different pocket of the world, or spending time in her beloved Madeira. While she will be missed immensely by myself, my family and all of those who were lucky enough to meet her, there is light in knowing that she will always be remembered for her joy, zest for life, delicious cooking, love for travel and understanding of the world, and passion for a brisk “ready golf” round, amongst many other things.

Love you Nana!

Love and hugs from afar to Brooke, David, and Robbie and your beautiful families. Nancy was a part of my childhood and so her passing marks the end of an era, but the memories will always stay with me. Birthday parties as toddlers, teenage gatherings, even my wedding shower at her house in River Heights. As we say here āroharoha to the whole family. And to Brooke, kia kaha my lovely friend.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of such a truly wonderful lady. She touched my life in a very special way, offering her support during some of my toughest life moments. Her kindness, thoughtfulness, and genuine care made her one of a kind. She will be deeply missed, but her warmth and the impact she had on those around her will never be forgotten. Sending love + light to Brooke and family during this most difficult time. I'm sorry to miss her celebration of life, you are all in my thoughts. ❤️

Growing up in Saskatoon, as Nancy's young cousin, I have many fond memories of visiting with her and her parents Aunt Miriam + Uncle George, both at their home and at Waskesiu Lake. It's no wonder Nancy turned out to be such a wonderful person! We last visited Nancy at her home in Winnipeg in 2019- a chance to reconnect after a number of years. Nancy + I have been friends on FB for a few years and I always looked forward to hearing of her traveling adventures. She was one of the kindest, most generous people I've ever known. Our sincere condolences to Brooke, Robbie + David.

We met dear Nancy on a cruise in Croatia in 2010 and forged a lasting friendship ever since. She came to Switzerland several times and we travelled to Winnipeg. We will miss her.

We are sending our sincere condolences to Brooke, David ,Rob and your families for the shocking loss of your dear mother and Grandmother Nancy.

We got to know Nancy back in the 1970's up to 2014 when we retired and moved back to Toronto in 2014 where we live now. So many fond memories of her as a happy , energetic hard working person. We shared fun times as young people raising our families spending time together in River Heights and also at Lake of the Woods. Nancy was one of the gals' group called the Magnolias, inspired by that old movie "Steel Magnolias". (Strong, resourceful women who enjoyed supporting each other with various life issues. You will find several of them who have gone to heaven before you dear Nancy, so may you Rest in peace. We will miss you until we meet again there. Love from Mel and Diane

This is such sad news to hear. Nancy lived life to the fullest and always shared her joy with those around her. Our river cruise will be a special memory for me. I will not be there to celebrate her life but will have a glass of wine in her honour and remember a sweet and remarkable woman. Love and hugs to Brooke and all of Nancy's family
