At the age of 9 she was evacuated during World War II and split up from her family. After the war she returned where she finished her education. She held various jobs and it was later at a dance hall where she met Thomas Riley Morse.
They were later married on October 2, 1954 in Glasgow, Scotland. Together they remained in Prestwick, Germany until 1956 when they moved back to the United States. Nancy remained in the home caring for her 8 children until she began working for Marry-Go-Round day care in Burns Flat, Oklahoma.
