She was a master at maintaining many lifelong friendships across the U.S. Above all, Nancy was a loving, nurturing mother to her two children and five grandchildren.

She is survived by her son, Greg Ferran of North Webster, IN, and daughter, Dawn Ferran (son-in-law, Daniel George) of Grand Blanc, MI, and grandchildren, Alex, Hillary, Nick, Brooke and Zach Ferran. Her smile and warmth will be greatly missed by her family and many, many friends.
