Nancy was born November 18, 1931, the only child of Paul and Lois (Cripe) Hadley of Toledo, OH. Nancy’s love for reading, learning and travel began as a child and continued throughout her life. She graduated from Bowling Green State University in 1953 with a BS in Education and a BA in Spanish and English. She joined the Alpha Phi sorority while attending BGSU and made life-long friends. The week after graduating, Nancy traveled by bus to Mexico City to take classes at Mexico City College that summer. Upon her return to Ohio she moved to Cleveland and worked as a secretary for Pan American World Air which led to work with the US Air Force Civil Service for a year in Madrid, Spain and then a year in Wiesbaden, Germany. She traveled extensively throughout Europe while living and working in Spain and Germany even taking a class at the Sorbonne University in Paris, France. Nancy earned a Master of Arts Degree in Literature, Science and Art in Romance Language and Spanish Literature from The University of Michigan in 1962.

Nancy taught Spanish and English in Toledo and Ottawa Hills, was a substitute teacher in Perrysburg schools, a loving parental caregiver for many years and ended her working years with Hayes Travel Agency in Perrysburg. For more than 64 years, as a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Maumee, Nancy was a long-time member of the choir, very involved on many committees and devoted countless hours to the library and history projects of the church.
