She volunteered at the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, La Plata County Senior Center, and Manna Soup Kitchen. Nancy was a loving mother to Duane Tucker and his wife, Joanna, and a devoted grandmother to Kyla and Canyon Tucker. She is survived by her family and will be fondly remembered by many.

We knew Nancy from the First Presbyterian Church and we used to visit her as she got older. She was trying to keep walking and active and was an encourager as she encouraged us to keep walking and to drink hot water with lemon and honey every day. Bless her.

I am so sad to learn of Nancy's passing. She was a wonderful person always kind and patient while volunteering at the Senior Center. My condolences to her family.

I knew Nancy at the senior center these past ten years. She was always so kind and helpful. Never short-tempered or curt. Very lovely lady with a kind heart and generous smile.
