Nancy is devoted to community service with hands-on volunteer work that has spanned decades and crossed state lines. For over 50 years, she has faithfully served her church—Bush Creek Church of the Brethren—caring for the building, supporting Christian education, tending to the grounds, and helping with spring and fall dinners. Her commitment to service extends beyond her local community; for more than 25 years, Nancy has traveled with Brethren Disaster Ministries to help wire, rebuild, and repair homes in places devastated by natural disasters, including Kentucky, New Orleans, Florida, and the Carolinas.
In Frederick County, she has given her time and electrical skills (she is an electrician) to Habitat for Humanity and roof-raising projects, working to ensure families have safe, stable
homes. Nancy has also spent several years sitting with hospice patients, offering comfort and companionship in their final days. Inspired by her mother’s example and grounded in her deep Christian faith, Nancy says it brings her joy to use the talents God gave her to care for others. She lives out the command to “love your neighbor as yourself” with humility, compassion, and tireless dedication.
