Passed away peacefully on July 24, 2026, in her 93rd year at Norfolk General Hospital. She is predeceased by her husband, Keith, of 69 years. She will forever be in the hearts of her children, John (Joanne), Ken (Marie), Ron (Sabra), and Elaine; her grandchildren, Amy (Derek), Katie (Todd), Daniel (Chantelle), Leslie (Will), Stacey (Jerry), Aaislinn (Justin), Lierin (Dave), Jamie (Emily), and Lindsay (Matt); 13 great-grandchildren; as well as many nieces and nephews and sister-in-law Shirley McConachie. She is predeceased by her sister, Mary Ricker; her brothers-in-law, Earl and Donald; and sisters-in-law, Marjorie and Jane. Nancy was born in Hungary and immigrated to Canada with her parents and sister in 1939. They settled in Dunnville and made a life farming there. Nancy and Keith were married in 1954, and she moved to Oneida. They took over the family farm and started their family. Nancy enjoyed driving a school bus for over 30 years. She loved to tell about getting stranded with a busload of children in the winter storm in 1977. She was a dedicated member at the Oneida United Church. The best of times was when she was surrounded by her family and preparing a meal for anyone who might walk through the door. A very special thank you to the staff at Norfolk General Hospital for their excellent care provided to Nancy in her final hours.
