I had the pleasure of knowing Nancy through her daughter, Meaghan. Nancy was a beautiful, kind and funny soul. She loved to tell stories from her past and talk about her loving family. Over the years, I’ve spent time with her at graduations, holidays, wineries and most recently, when she became too sick to leave home, at our weekly “Heinecke Happy Hours”.
She was well loved will be missed by so many especially her husband, Rich, and her children, Meaghan and Bobby, who were so selfless in their care for her these past few years.
May you Rest In Peace, Nancy?
From the moment I met Nancy many years ago I knew what a sweet, kind, and fun-loving person she was. She was my sister in law that will be missed. I enjoyed any time with her and although we did not live close by I enjoyed my conversations with her and all the fun stories she had especially from her days of working at the airport.
She was a wonderful, caring person, friend, wife, and mother. Nancy, you are a wonderful soul we all hope you have found peace. All our love,
Mary, Gary & Kaitlin
