Born in Kokomo, Indiana on December 28, 1929 to Walter and Henrietta Lobeck, she grew up in Washington, Indiana the daughter of a Lutheran minister. It was in Washington that she met and married Bob in 1950 following his military service during World War II. With Nancy at his side, he pursued industrial engineering and management positions in Indiana, Mississippi and Tennessee.

Nancy happily dedicated her whole life to her husband, family and friends. She was active in the community through church, school and clubs. She was a member of Hohenwald United Methodist Church.

Nano celebrated her 90th birthday in November with four generations of family. Her sparkling green eyes and radiant smile could not be suppressed by the hands of time.
