Born July 12, 1945, in Freeport, IL, she married her late husband, Richard J. Smith on May 21, 1966, in Freeport. Nancy was above all a devoted wife, mother, and friend.

She assisted her husband, Richard, as he led an adult Sunday School class for many years. Nancy also was involved in Christian Women's Club, serving for a time as President of the local chapter, and fnr years she volunteered weekly in the office of Love, Inc. Most importantly, she loved Jesus Christ, and will be remembered as someone who honored Him with her integrity and her humble, servant's heart.
Survivors include a son, Erik (Christi) Smith of Carmel, IN; daughter, Melissa (Joseph) Smith Smith of Kenosha, WI; grandchildren, Kaelyn, Malachi, Simon, Ferris, and Caide; and brother, James (Eleanor) Coomber of Moorhead, MN.
