She furthered her education at Indiana Central College.
Professionally, Nancy began her career in various administrative roles within Decatur Central school system. She later transitioned to a fulfilling career at Eli Lilly and Company, retiring in 2006.

Her artistic flair extended to visual arts, where she was an accomplished artist and art teacher. Nancy’s love for reading was profound, having devoured thousands of novels throughout her life.
