Nancy was born April 25, 1952, the daughter of Terry and Elnora Thompson of Forest City. After attending Forest City Schools, she was employed by Good Samaritan Nursing Home and Waldorf College. Later she moved to Mason City, and had currently been employed at NIACC.

Nancy had many loves! She was an avid reader, read many books a week, and enjoyed sharing what she thought of the book. One of her favorite TV channels was the Teen Disney channel. Nancy crocheted many afghans and potholders, and shared them as gifts. Her love for animals was evident, they loved her also, and she always had a treat for them. Nancy enjoyed people and loved talking with them. She especially loved all her nieces and nephews, and remembered their birthdays and ages. She was also always up for new adventures. Another hobby in which she found pleasure was coloring, and recently discovered adult coloring books, with which she was very creative.

Most of all, Nancy loved Jesus Christ, and we have the peace of knowing that she is now walking with Jesus.

Nancy was preceded in death by her grandparents.

She is survived by her parents, Terry and Elnora Thompson; brother, Tracy (Diane) Thompson; sister, Cindy (Roger) Solomonson; sister, Marcia (Craig) Sampson; nephews and nieces - Troy (Heidi) Thompson; Justin (Becky Spencer) Thompson; Hollie (Erik) Lampe; Christy (Mike) Price; Jason (Jessica) Deugan; Heather Deugan; as well as 18 great nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be given to the church or charity of the donor’s choice.
