They were married February 25, 1961 in Dallas, Texas and were blessed with 62 wonderful years as husband and wife.  After their marriage, Sherman joined the Navy and Nancy moved with him to California. He was then deployed on the USS Hancock, so she moved back to Dallas and began working at Adam Hats. Upon Sherman’s return from the Navy, they started their family and were blessed with three children. In 1974, they moved to Ferris making it their forever home. Nancy worked at Marilyn Belts and Bags and various other jobs, but homemaker and mother were by far her favorite. She and Sherman shared their love of baseball and travel; visiting Mount Rushmore, Four Corners, Niagara Falls and many other places making it to  49 of the 50 states. She had a huge heart and loved everyone. She loved to cook and always had way more kids at her house than her own. She is loved and will be missed by all who knew her.
