Nancy and her second husband were married 27 years on Dec. 22, 2011, moved from Keansburg, N.J. to Memphis, Tenn. seven years ago and made many new friends.
Her greatest joys were son, Petty Officer Sean Godown; wife, Mamen and granddaughter, Norelle, 7, who visited in June from Virginia to be with her.
