Nancy worked in the grocery business many years, starting at the Red Owl, then retiring from Spiegelhoff’s Pick ‘n Save in 1998, after 21 years of service.
Spending time with her family & friends meant the world to her. The times spent in Crivitz, WI at their vacation home of 13 years and during their annual “Meyersfest” were precious to her.
