When her children were growing up, Nancy served as the coach to the majorettes at the Girls and Boys Club in Winston-Salem where she mentored and built lifelong relationships with the parents and the children. She also enjoyed playing softball, traveling with her son, Michael's band, Wheel of Fortune and participating in the Birthday Club. She also loved and being with her church family at Mt. Abel Pentecostal Holiness Church. Most of all, she really enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren and sharing a good meal.
