friends. She was also a very hard worker, and was employed at the Dubuque Packing Company and Dog and Suds. Nancy was united in marriage to Karl V. "Bud" Williams on March 25, 1958, at Immanuel Congregational Church in Dubuque. She became a full time mother after her husband was called home ahead of her in 1971, going back into the work force at the Ramada Inn. Family was definitely the most important aspect of Nancy's life, and she especially looked forward to celebrating Christmas with them every year. In her younger days, Nancy was very athletic and was an accomplished gymnast. In more recent years, she enjoyed playing Bingo and became quite the garage sale enthusiast, always on the hunt for a great bargain. Nancy was a faith filled woman, a devout Catholic and member of St. Patrick's Church. We are deeply saddened by Nancy's passing, but take comfort in knowing that she is now reunited with her loved ones gone home ahead of her, free from the health issues that have challenged her these past few years.Those left to cherish Nancy's memory includeher children,
