She graduated from Abington High School in 1956 and attended Pierce Business School.  Nancy began her career with Standard Press Steel Co., Jenkintown (now SPS Technologies) leaving in 1963 to raise her family.  As her children began to mature, she re-entered the business world serving as Executive Vice-President of the East Montgomery County Assoc. of Realtors, Executive Vice-President of Suburban Multiple Listing Service, and Director of the Real Estate Network of Delaware Valley, Inc.
