She was a member of the Gem Crafters and Explorers Club, participating in many trips around the area. Nancy shared her love of rocks, gems, and minerals with family, friends, and others, including teaching elementary students in an afterschool enrichment program.

For many years she enjoyed volunteering at the Las Cruces Museum of Natural History. Other hobbies included needlework, sewing, reading, trivia, stamp collecting, and card-making. Additionally, she was a charter member of First Christian Church in Las Cruces. Survivors include two daughters, Teresa Fitzpatrick (Jack) and Jodie Galloway all of Las Cruces; a sister, Linda Braun of Oregon; her grandchildren, Kyle Fitzpatrick (Elizabeth) and Kirstie Sedillo (Timothy) all of Albuquerque; four nephews, William Cammack (Laszlo Kakash) of Oregon,
