Nancy and Erik came to Canada in 1957 from Copenhagen, Denmark to start a new adventure. They met at a dance in Bakken, Denmark. They had a love for dancing and competed, winning many awards. In Canada, they loved badminton and camping throughout the years, taking many adventures with their grandchildren. They fondly remember trips with Mormor and Morfar. Nancy was an accomplished seamstress and taught Linda to sew which grew into a passion that took her to college and to teach her children to sew. Nancy hosted and made wonderful food for the many Danish Luncheons (Frokosts) that brought family and friends together for hyggelig times of laughter and often songs.
At Nancy’s request, cremation has taken place. A private family celebration at Sunset Mindepark will be held at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to the WALL-CUSTANCE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL (519-822-0051 / www.wallcustance.com).
