She was soon wed to Richard Sweet in the early 60’s. She was also married to Dick Horrell. Years later she married John Villone on November 15, 1974. Nancy worked for many years at the Swift Greenhouse and with her brothers working construction. In Nancy’s free time she loved to stay busy with crafts like quilting, ceramics, and gardening. Nancy was an avid letter writer, with a personal touch that will always be remembered. She was an involved member of the Ferguson Bible Church and would volunteer as much as she could.

She's also survived by her siblings, Paulette Thompson and Paul Warnell.
