It is with great sadness that after a brief illness and surrounded by family and loved ones, our beloved Nancy left us to be with the Lord.
She was born in Fort Frances, the daughter of Alice and Roy Tinkess and granddaughter of Norrie and Mabel Godin.
She quit school early and began waitressing at the New Lunch cafe and from there almost every restaurant in town. She was so loved by her many regular customers that some would move with her. That was how she met her husband Bill. They would be together for thirty seven years. They travelled when they could and her favourite place was the Black Hills of South Dakota. She and son Dan travelled to the west coast to make some memories. They were like two peas in a pod when they were together and it was wonderful to hear her share with everyone. In her final years she loved being on their houseboat watching God’s beauty in all she saw around her, especially sunrises and sunsets.
She joined Calvary Baptist Church in 2016 and was baptized July 15, 2019. She deeply loved and was loved by her wonderful church family.
She was predeceased by her parents and grandparents; brother Bob; and young son Louis.
She is survived by husband Bill; sons Dan and John; step-children Christie (Al), Kevin (Toey), Jonathan; six grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren; as well as sister Elaine and husband Glen and nieces and nephew.
Cremation has taken place and a service will take place at Calvary Baptist church with attendance limited to immediate family and some church members due to restrictions.
If desired memorial donations may be made to the charity of your choice in Nancy’s memory by cheque c/o to Northridge Funeral Home Emo, Box 89, Emo, ON. P0W 1E0.
