There was a time in her life when the public adulation became so great that she laid aside her performances;it was God's glory that she wanted, not her own. Over time, God gently brought her back to the piano and encouraged her to trust Him with her gift. Nancy left a legacy of music and faith to hundreds of piano students, musicians and many who hae been given the wonderful unexpected surprise of a talent beyond measure. Nancy's life was lived in trust, love and obedience to Jesus Christ. Her daily walk with Him was a tendeer testimony to her friends and family, all those who are now being comforted with the knowledge of her passing into glory. She was preceded by a son Church.
