Born on September 28, 1934, in Coaldale, she was the daughter of the late Lester and Esther (Mertz) Frey. A proud graduate of Tamaqua Area High School, Class of 1953, Nancy dedicated many years of her life to hard work and service. She was employed as a waitress at several local establishments, including Scrafford's, Swiss Chalet, and Smith's Country Inn, and also contributed her talents to the textile industry.

Nancy was an active member of St. John XXIII Parish in Tamaqua and the Milford Senior Center. Her passion for entertaining was well known among her family and friends, as she particularly loved hosting her annual Super Bowl parties.
