Nancy is survived by two sons, Joel A., married to Heather Wood of Pottsville, and Shaun D, married to Bonnie Wood of Dauphin. Her grandchildren; Evan, Ethan, Mikayla and Natalie Wood were the most important people in her world. They will certainly miss her love and affection. Nancy's memory will remain in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, friends and all her knew her. Her legacy of love and compassion will remain present throughout their lives. Born in Lancaster, she was the daughter of the late Clifford D. and Esther Smith Rittenhouse. Also, surviving is her sister Ginny Smith of Lancaster who was her best friend and yard sale, warrior. A graduate of McCaskey High School, she was a member of the class of 1968. Nancy was employed as a department manager for Kmart stores in Hershey and Elizabethtown, working for the retailer for over 25 years.
