My sympathies and condolences to the Bell family on the loss of Nancy. As a kid, I have fond memories of her as a Shiloh Fire Belle and working alongside her in the old “Beef Trailer” at the Ox Roast. Chuck and Nancy had a positive impact on the Shiloh Community. Nancy will be missed by her family and all of her friends in the Shiloh Community.

Dear Chuck and Family, I am so sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. Unfortunately, the news came too late for me to pay my respects in person. Nancy and I taught next door to each other for many years. I have many fond memories of our times together. We were each others back-up for lost memos,last minute copies, and “watch my room while I make a dash for the bathroom.”
