Thank you to everyone that enriched my mothers life by your friendship and love. She would like to thank you all for being who you are and memories you gave. Her spirit will always live on Bainbridge Island which she loved very much. I would also like to thank the Cook's for making this difficult time bearable.

When our family moved to Bainbridge Island 30 years ago we soon had the privilege to meet Nancy. From that point on she shaped our lives forever. The neverending all afternoon lessons right up until it was dark. The wealth of information she fed into both Dawn and myself was priceless. Without her our family would not be the same and the horse community on B.I. definitely would not be what it is today. Her patience and gentle way with the kids taught them lifelong lessons outside of the arena. Her legacy lives on thru many adults, their children and grandchildren. I thank Nancy for the lifelong lessons and skills she taught all her students on horseback and off.
The thousands of hours she spent with Dawn instilling high standards, good sportsmanship, safety and respect for both others and horses gave my daughter and many other girls the tools to grow into the women they are today. She is a true friend to all who had the privilege to know such a wonderful women. Nancy you will always be in my heart. And now when I watch my grand girls jump I know you will there with them sitting on their shoulders like an angel. I love you Nancy.

Nancy has been a part of my life since I was about 14 years of age. I was one of the original charter members of Pony Club she was instrumental in forming. Many years later, she would teach my daughter to ride, and she won many blue ribbons! She was always ready with a smile and a laugh. I was fortunate to have her over for lunch this last June, and we talked about her illness. She was very brave and forward looking, but was thankful for the wonderful oportunities she had enjoyed in life. I will miss her always, yet she remains a part of me.

We had the pleasure of knowing Nancy for almost ten years. She was a great neighbor and friend with a wonderful sense of humor and a ready smile.
At this moment three things stick out in my mind about her.
Her pride in her son, Bill and his accomplishments. Many times she would tell me of some new thing in his job he had done and how proud she was of him.
Her love of animals. She would spare no effort in her care and compassion for animals, from her rabbit that she nursed back to health from an animal attack,to her three legged cat,her goat she rescued, and her tender care of her neighbors injured sheep.
Her work ethic. We spent many days over the years working on her many projects which she somehow managed to "Tom Sawyer" me into.She was a hard and energetic worker with boundless enthusiasm for life.
Our condolences to her family and friends. She is surely missed by all.

Nancy Was a great lady... I did not know her that well but the times I did spend chatting with her while waiting for the ferries in order to deliver the pizzas to the boat made for a great time. she was always smiling and this made my days so much brighter. Thanks you Nancy, you will be missed by many.

Dear Bill and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I met Nancy about 8 years ago as a ferry passenger and got to know and love her when we were both WSF employees. My mom lives back east and I came to think of Nancy as a second mom. She let me help her with heavy jobs on her property and I really enjoyed all the time I shared with her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Nancy will always live on in our hearts.

Dear Bill and family,
You well know I have such fond memories of your Mom that will be with me forever. She certainly helped shape me into who I am today by instilling my love of horses and all the hard work that goes with following that passion. I tell the kids I work with today the stories of Nancy getting me to do things I really didn't want to do, whether that was working cleaning out the barn for hours or galloping at an uncontrollable pace off the side of the then dirt road over Koura. She would turn to me is I was hollering for mercy behind her with a big smile on her face, "I can't hear a word you are saying!" Off we would go. The terror eventually changed to all out enjoyment and adventure I have continued to seek. Once an adrenelin junkie always one. I look forward to seeing you and Jennifer next weekend celebrating your Mom's life and wish you all my best.

Nancy's smile was contagious; whenever she came into the bank she was smiling and before she would leave so were we.
I was so deeply moved by Nancy's courage and positive attitude.
About 3 months ago there was a profound exchange of words with Nancy that touched the very center of my heart. Despite all that Nancy was facing in her own life; she came up to me and asked, "How's married life? You look happy."(I had recently been married).
I will always remember Nancy with the upmost respect and with a smile in my heart. I will miss you Nancy.

What a wonderful lady Nancy was. I truly considered Nancy my friend. I personally worked with Nancy over the last 2 years at Frontier Bank and will never forget her beautiful smile and wonderful outlook on life. She will truly be missed in my heart. With fond memories, Kim Basile
