Sue Kemp Spitzer says:
Nancy was my best friend when we lived across the street from each other, growing up on Harding Road. We had fun together playing jump rope, hop scotch, dress ups in her mom’s old party dresses, playing Canasta at my house or hers. The Holtman household was always fun to be around with Mrs. Holtman being a stay at home mom with all the kids. Nancy and I had a lot of experiences together. She taught me how to cross stitch kitchen towels for our mothers. When we went to church camp together when we were 11, we made our own flapper dresses for the talent show and practiced the Charleston but when it was our turn to go on stage, both of us being shy, chickened out and didn’t go through with it. I’m glad we reconnected these last few years and I will miss her. My sympathies go to all of you.
