Nancy spent her earlier years with her aunt and uncle, Tom and Elsie Duncan in Mena, AR, later returning to Loyal, where she finished schooling at Loyal High school. Nancy worked multiple jobs throughout the years, then went to school to be a CNA, finishing her working career at the Marshfield Hospital.

Nancy loved to hunt, fish, and spend time with her children in the outdoors. She was a very compassionate lady with animals and children, and she always had a dog by her side.

She is survived by her children: Robert (Heidi) Davel of Willard, Marie Davel of Marshfield, Debra (Chris) Langreck of Marshfield, Larry Davel of Neillsville, Tami (Randy) Cook of Loyal, Shirley Goode of Willard, Lisa (Al) Payne of Loyal; 17 grandchildren; 48 great-grandchildren; one brother: Robert (Sharon) Whittemore of Orange, CA; four step children: Susan Brown, Peter Brown, Paul Brown, and Bobbie Jo (Brad) Suckow; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Burial will be held in the Loyal City Cemetery at a later date. Visitation will be held at the church, on Saturday, from 10:30 a.m. until time of service.

The family would like to thank Three Oaks Health Center for the great care and time given to our mother.
