Her fame spread quickly throughout north Texas as a remarkable cooking demonstrator in such places as Neiman Marcus, Plate and Platter, food-editor of the “Dallas/Ft. Worth Home and Garden Magazine” and the Jones and Jones Department Store in McAllen where she was the director/consultant of their restaurant and epicure. Nancy’s devotion and unselfishness were demonstrated in numerous ways as she administered to the needy and volunteered for civic responsibilities throughout the community for more than 40 years. Her positive attitude, encouraging and uplifting spirit will be deeply missed. There are no words to express the void that will be felt in our lives.
