Nancy was born and raised on the south side of Milwaukee, living there for 55 years and graduating from South Division in 1968. She obtained her Associate’s degree in business management from MATC and worked for the City of Milwaukee for 32 years.
Nancy was the “never go to bed mad” type of person. Her love of her Polish heritage and Catholicism led to some of the best Nancyisms, often butchering the English language with her made up words and sayings. It was always a highlight of her debates with Sean that often ended in laughter. She was truly the best mom, wife and grandma to her boys. Every Christmas sparkled and was lit up more and more as the years went on. Nancy loved the holidays, often decorating for all of them but her favorite was Christmas, the brighter the lights and more sparkles the better!
Nancy was happiest surrounded by her family and friends. She loved playing cards and often enjoyed pinochle with her brothers and sisters. She was a member of a card club for over 50 years. A known perfectionist you could often find her picking up every stick and leaf in the “Moore Nature Preserve” and making sure every single flower, plant, bird or living thing was well cared for and absolutely stunning. If she wasn’t in her beloved garden, hosting family gatherings or traveling up north she was spending time with her grandson. Whether she was making noodles, playing poker, watching video games or making him cookies; she found pure happiness in that time.
“I was fortunate to be with my bride for 55 years, I prayed it would be much longer but it wasn’t to be” – Don Moore
Always felt welcomed at the Moores house growing up whether it was a regular day, holiday or the big game was on Nancy always made you feel welcome. And she always made sure you were fed! Her hospitality was unmatched. RIP
Nancy was my role model and dear friend. I couldn’t hold a candle to her kindness and strength. Much of who I am today is because of her. Rest in Peace my beautiful friend. I will forever miss you.

My condolences on your loss. Your mom was a wonderful sweet person. She was always welcoming and she and your dad were always so involved in St Romans. Parish and serving the church. Prayers for you and your dad losing your mom. Losing a parent is difficult enough and especially at Christmas. She will be missed
There are no words to describe how much I will miss our 55 year old friendship! We met at Layton Village Apts,, partied together there often, and had our kids.. Nancy and i were in the original card club there and never dreamed the club would last almost 50 years! We shared illnesses, sad times, but oh so many good times. Our trips to Door County together were a hoot., always bringing to much food for the group! I am so thankful I had the privilege of her friendship thru my life. RIP buddy.
I’m grateful to have known Nancy, albeit for such a short time. It was always a joy to be around her, and she will be missed in the neighborhood.
So so sorry. We had such a wonderful, time together at family reunion years back. We loved her big hats she wore . She was a special lady. Prayers for family.
I will miss you , you were my closest friend and neighbor.
I am happy to have known Nancy. Words ca not described the influence she had on so many lives. She will be missed
Nancy was the best big Sis 2 little girls could possibly have. The family always said she prayed so hard and long for a baby sister, she got 2. She loved playing with us and teaching us things when we were small. As a teenager, she even took us along on her sleepovers. When we were teens, she took us shopping for our 1st bras, special occasion outfits and shoes. As adults she continued to be our friend and mentor, always showing us a good example. She was thoughtful and considerate, always making us feel loved. My heat is broken. I miss her so much already.
