Nancy Jean Van De Loo

Nancy Van De Loo, 68, of Howards Grove, passed away on Wednesday, January 4, 2018 at HarborChase of Shorewood after a courageous battle with brain cancer.

Nancy worked at Kohler Company as a Technical Writer until she became a mother. She then became a stay-at-home mother and business owner of Nancy’s Mini Shoppe. She had a love for family and antiques.
