Nancy was a graduate of the University of Georgia and went on to get her Master’s Degree. Nancy filled her life as an avid dog lover and was a well-loved and respected friend and colleague to many. She was very involved with many community organizations including Temple Israel, Shelter Guardians, Piedmont Players, Waterworks Visual Arts Center, Rufty Holmes Senior Center, Duplicate Bridge Groups, Faithful Friends and Lee Street Theatre where she was recently honored as volunteer of the year.

She is survived by her brother, Donnie Brandt of Timberlake, NC, her niece Natasha Blue (Chris) of Hillsborough and her nephew Jeremy, and many dear cousins in New York and Florida.
