For many years square dancing with her husband was one of her favorite hobbies. Nancy also found joy in reading, baking, card playing and especially knitting for family and friends. She had a deep affection for the cats that shared her life over the years. Nancy is survived by her two sons, Steven (Julie) Vincent of Alexandria, MN and James (Tracy) Vincent of Lyman, SC; grandchildren,  James Richard (Rebecca) Cianciolo, Amy Cianciolo, David Cianciolo, Kennedy Vincent; 10 great-grandchildren.
