Fremont, NE Monday, January 6, 2025 Our prayers go to the family at this time. We were unable to attend since we both are under the weather and didn't want to make anyone else sick. Aunt Nancy was a great person and will be missed. We used to see them once in a while at Nickerson and always was a great visit with her! May she rest peacefully and know that she was loved by many!
