 As a daughter of a school teacher, Nancy grew up during the depression in several communities in Saskatchewan and married Len Ginther in Swift Current, Saskatchewan in 1958.  From there, Mom and Dad moved several more times across the three prairie provinces, settling in Taber in 1975.  Throughout the next fifteen years, Len and Nancy operated L&N Automotive and she was active in the community working with the Taber Golden Suns, Taber Prairie Bowling League and in many activities and sports alongside their children. She was a bookkeeper until she retired at age sixty five, at which time she began working at her hobbies such as reading, doing crossword puzzles, knitting and most recently, painting. Nana's family was the most important part of her life and her most enjoyable hobby was spending time with them and sharing laughs over meals with her children and grandchildren. Her door was always open to the numerous friends she made along the way. Over the past number of years, Mom struggled with her health, battling cancer, suffering a stroke and then kidney disease. She was truly a warrior and a fighter.
