My thoughts and prayers with the family…now she is at peace. I have many fond memories of Buddie and Nancy of years in Heritage Harbour.
There will never be anyone like our ‘Nanie’. Always the hostess. One of so many memories is the holiday get togethers at her house. It was such a wonderful family time. I will always cherish all the many times shared together. Nanie, you are in my heart forever and I know one day we will be together praising God together with all the family again.
Love, Miss Earlbacher.
My earliest memory of Nanny is at her old house in Maryland. Buddy was in the backyard cooking crabs. Nanny was always fussing over us. Nanny’s sitting room was amazing to most but especially to little girls who liked sparkley things. She was a treasure and will be missed very much. I love you Nanny.
When Debbie and I first started dating Nannie and Buddy were some of the first people from up north that I met. They were very special to me then and I will always be thankful for knowing them. May you rest in peace Nannie
When my first child was born, we were discussing what he should call my mom, his grandmother. Someone suggested ‘Nana’. I said, ‘No, there’s only ONE Nana’. Rest in peace Nana, you hold a very special place in my heart!

I miss the Nancy who went to lunch with me, enjoyed being treated like a lady; was always quick with a comment and laughed a lot! She spoke of Buddy so much I felt I knew him.
Luana and I will miss her!!!

Nannie was always so good to me. I remember going to her house for dinner one year when we were in MD for vacation. We played in the back yard with Buddy. Good memories! She remembered every birthday. I loved to look at all the crystals she had in her house, she really knew how to decorate. I will miss her!
