Nancy worked for John Morell, CSD Relay, and was the photo specialist at Walgreens when she retired. Nancy enjoyed many things but animals mostly.

She did this for several years after retirement.
Nancy will be deeply missed by her daughter, Sara (Jennifer) Arneson; grandsons, Anthony Ballard and Jordan Ford; her brother, David, all from Sioux Falls; and her kitties, Sweetheart and Garfield.
Nancy is preceded in death by her parents, Marlin and Marguerite; aunts and uncle, Alice, Clara, and Lester Arneson; several niece and nephews; and her pets, Kitty Roo, Kia Kitty, Papa, Scruffy, and Lil Bit.
Thoughts and prayers to the family.
I loved our regular Sunday coffee dates. I loved our daily check in texts. I loved having that one person with whom I can share EVERYTHING without being judged. I loved all the secrets that only two friends of 49 years keep between themselves. I even loved how you made fun of how I cry at the drop of a hat or the infamous, “I don’t want to.” But most of all, I loved YOU. I’ll miss you so much, my friend, but will always treasure the memories we’ve made together…some hilarious, some painful, but all are the glue of a great friendship.
