     She was born December 26, 1935 in West Allis, daughter of the late John and Lillian (Teich) Stoll. Nancy lived in West Allis and attended Franklin School until fifth grade before their family moved to Egg Harbor.

When it was time for Tom to retire, they moved back to Fish Creek and then later to Sturgeon Bay, where they lived for 20 years. While living in Sturgeon Bay, she worked at Ministry Door County Medical Center. Together, the two were members of Bay View Lutheran Church. In 2014, Tom and Nancy moved to Ozaukee County to be closer to their daughters. In her spare time, Nancy enjoyed needlework, specifically, crocheting.
