For 36 years they lived their dream life of Florida winters, traveling the US, supporting grandchildren in school and athletics, and often hosting family and friends for holidays and special events until Don's passing in 2004.

Beginning early In the 70's, the mobile home industry flourished in the Michiana community, Nancy's position was secretary/treasurer for Mann Industries and the Weidner brothers. As a woman, in an industry famous for polyester trousers, Qiana nylon shirts, white shoes and white belts, Nancy achieved respect, success and opportunity when women were still missing in leadership roles.

As a cat fancier her entire life, Nancy bred Persian cats for many years, and owned her own cattery, Purjonpaws. She enjoyed cat shows, the people she would meet, and became long-time friends with those that became owners of her beautiful kittens.
