She was the loving mother of Karen Smith (Doug), Ed (Jan) and Peter (Anita) and wife of their late father Bernard Long. Sister to John (Phyllis), late Betty French (late Ron), late Clyde (late Ellen) and Aunt to many nieces and nephews. Step Mom to the late Lynne Edwards, Stephen (Heather) and Philip. Grandmother to Adam, Alex, Ryan, Christine, Michael, Megan (Ryan), Erin (Darren), Hillery (Shawn), Cheryl (Nick) and Tim (Julie).

Nancy moved to Canada when she married Don in July 1976. She loved her church family where she was an active member of the choir. She was an angel on earth now an angel in heaven.
