When she wasn’t working, Nancy enjoyed travelling, cooking, bowling, and spending time with her family and friends. She was known to have a sweet tooth and as noted by her loved ones: “What’s not to love about a woman who loved her family almost as much as she loved the St. Louis Cardinals; happy hour with friends at the “Top of the Hill”; sitting on the porch looking out at the lake; and her beloved dog Yadi.”

Nancy is survived by her grandchildren, James Brian Kliethermes, William Wilson, and Chelsea Wilson (Daniel Swope); her great grandchildren Sydnee Kliethermes (Tyler Luebbert), Josh Kliethermes, Brayden Wilson and Olivia Swope; her sister Marilyn Moss Green; her nephews Steven (Stefanie) Green and Joseph Green; her cousin Bill (Sunny) Michel; her amazing care-giver Deanna; her beloved dog, Yadi; along with many special friends, especially those at Bristol Bay.

Nancy was preceded in death by her parents Hampton and Frances Ferris; her husband Era Price Hatcher; her daughter Carol Wilson; and Dana Kliethermes.
