Our condolences to you Brian and family. We are sad to hear that Nancy had passed. She was always a pleasure to talk to when she was out walking on Murray Crescent.
So very sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. When I was a child, she was the lady next door. As an adult she helped make my costumes for the Northumberland Players and became a friend who always greeted me with a warm hug. She and my mother were also good friends and Nancy always made a point to share a kind word about her every time we met. I will miss her and I send my condolences to Jeffrey and Mr. Kerr
I met Nancy through the Northumberland Players. She loved theatre and was an amazing costumes sewer. Dedicated and kind . She will be missed.

My deepest condolences to Nancy's family. It was a very sad day for me and I imagine many others who worked with Nancy at Vic Hall and Local 25. We worked side by side and became very good friends. I will never forget the many challenges we faced together like new councils, new bosses, union vs non union, taxpayer complaints, etc. etc. But most of all I will remember the many laughs we had together and the respect and affection we had for each other. Rest peacefully. You deserve it and I will see you later.
