Nancy was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on October 10, 1950, the eldest child of Ole and Clara Hammerstedt. Being a free spirit, she moved out of the house at an early age. She headed to the pacific coast with her boyfriend Denny Bohn, where they had their son Eden in Powell River, British Columbia. In 1983, she moved to Taber where she has resided until the time of her passing. Nancy made numerous longtime friends wherever she lived. She worked at the Royal Hotel for many years where everyone got to know her. Nancy was most proud of her son and granddaughters and bragged about them everywhere she went. She always had a quick wit and a sharp tongue. Nancy loved to laugh and spend time with her family and friends. She will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts.
