She is survived by her five devoted daughters: Toni Lynette Santoro (husband Walter Smith), Maria Antoinette Santoro, Tina Nanette Santoro (husband Maynard Bronstein), Gina Danette Foley, and Amelia Annette Pruitt (husband Robbie Pruitt). She also leaves behind her treasured grandchildren: Michael Anthony Seabolt (wife Ekaterina Seabolt), Marcus Anthony Santoro, Katlinn Ashley Santoro, Thomas Daniel Santoro, and Liam Jack Foley, as well as her loving sisters Jessie Williams Krondon and Zona Williams Meskinish, along with many extended family members and friends who will carry her memory in their hearts.

Family and friends will always remember Nancy’s steady presence and the way she made each person feel seen and loved. She taught her children and grandchildren the true meaning of family, sacrifice, and resilience. Her legacy lives on in their lives and in the countless memories they will cherish forever.

As her family lovingly reflects: She was our anchor, our guide, and our greatest blessing. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

In accordance with Nancy’s wishes, a private ceremony will be held to honor her life.

The family kindly requests no flowers or donations. Instead, they encourage those who knew Nancy to honor her by spending time with loved ones and treasuring the bonds of family—values she held most dear.
