Very sad to hear of Nancy’s passing. Her lovely smile and twinkling eyes will be missed by many. She was a beloved and respected teacher.
My condolences to Nancy’s family. I enjoyed teaching with Nancy and Dennis at LCS. Nancy always had a smile on her face and love in her heart. Rest in Peace, Nancy.
Nancy was one of my favorite teachers back in the 70s. I looked forward to her classroom each day and credit her with sparking my love of reading. Rest in peace Mrs. Miller
We cherish many memories of school days at Livonia, sitting around a campfire, kayaking and travel adventures shared with the Millers. She will be missed by many.
Our deepest condolences go out to Tom and family.
I always enjoyed our time together at Catholic Charities. I loved seeing you this summer walking the dogs at Vitale park. I was so very sorry to read your obituary. You were such a sweet lady and I will miss you. Save a spot for me.
We are so sorry. Our condolences to Tom and her family. Nancy was always so full of life.
