She was a devoted wife to her loving husband, Alan Meneer, and a nurturing mother to her three children, George, Neil, and Heather, who were the light of her life.

Her laughter, wisdom, and gentle spirit will be deeply missed but fondly remembered. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to all who have supported them during this difficult time. A celebration of Nancy's life will be held at a later date in British Columbia, where her children will gather to honor her memory and fulfill her final wish for her ashes to be disposed of as per her request. In lieu of flowers, those who wish to honor Nancy's memory are encouraged to make donations to a charity of their choice, in tribute to her enduring spirit and legacy of kindness.
