A lifelong Calgarian, Nan will be fondly missed by her bridge partners and her many friends from her memberships in her sororities, Christ Church Anglican, Calgary, The Calgary Junior League, The Calgary Golf & Country Club, The Glencoe Club, The Revellers, The Manor Village and Desert Island Golf & Country Club in Rancho Mirage, CA.

Nan spent many happy days travelling extensively with her family, particularly to England, Hawaii and Europe. She especially enjoyed entertaining friends and family for many years at her Eagle Ridge and Rancho Mirage residences.
