Sharon and Steve Crouse says
Nancy and Jerry were family friends and I worked for many years with Nancy in Customer Service at Lexington Furniture. She and Jerry were neighbors at the lake. She had a wonderful wit and was a beautiful woman. I will always recall how Jerry was her mainstay and her penchant for jewelry. Heartfelt condolences to the family and may she always be recalled with smiles, laughter and love. Until another day.
