I am saddened to hear of Nancy's passing and your loss. We shared many great times curling in the "leads and seconds" and working at various Pinty's curling events. She was a wonderful person and a true Aquarian!

As a young police officer I worked with/for Nancy on the Durham Regional Police Service. Nancy was fun to be around and work for as she was always upbeat and full of energy and she was always willing to help me learn. I enjoyed her wonderful sense of humour too.
My condolences to Dan and all Nancy's family.

Dear Danny and family,
Our deepest sympathy for your great loss. Nancy set an example for women in the policing profession and it was evident that Nancy was a great mentor.
She was multi talented, great fun and her love for animals was a gift.
We will remember her phase of raising goats, supplying goat milk to anyone who would try it…..no one liked it but didn’t have the heart to tell her.
Nancy will be missed by those who knew her and loved her.
