Irene Feir My husband and I knew Nancy (and Dick) for almost 50 years – through St. Mary’s Church. She was the first person who came to talk to me on the very first Sunday I went in the door. She and another Nancy and I enjoyed many craft missions (excuses to go to town) and lunches together. We made about 35 pounds of Christmas puddings together for years. She was a kind and generous soul and I miss her.
