LEWISTON – Nancy Ann Reynolds died peacefully at her home in Lewiston on Monday June 8. She would have been 76 on her birthday, September 5.Nancy attended Lewiston schools and went on to become a Licensedp Pactical Nurse and later a Massage Therapist. She worked in various nursing homes in the area, using her skills to provide aid comfort to her patients. To Nancy, the glass was always full and her optimism in life manifested itself in the compassion and empathy she felt for others, particularly the elderly.Nancy was deeply religious and although she attended formal services from time to time, her sense of spirituality was such that she was most comfortable with her Lord simply speaking with him day to day and living her life with compassion, understanding tolerance, and love for others. Nancy’s passion for gardening was second only to her passion for her family. Family was the driving force in her life. She loved large, forgave all – if there was ever anything to forgive. She possessed unshakable faith in her family. In the darkest of times or circumstances when things often seemed hopeless, she would remind each of us that “everything will work out and it will be okay”. It was her mantra.
