Age 84, of Wilmington, IL, passed away on July 3, 2022 at Park Pointe Nursing Home in Morris, IL. Born September 27, 1937 to the late Axel W. and Hazel (nee Johnson) Strand.

She was also a very talented artist, painter, and sewer. Nancy enjoyed baking and is especially known for her famous turtle candy. Surviving are five children, Kim (Chuck) McCreery, Ken (Crystal) Lewis, Kerry (Donna) Lewis, Kristi Lewis-Cooksey, and Kevin (Christine) Lewis; six grandchildren, Valerie (Jeff) Rabideau, Matthew McCreery, Samantha McCreery, Clint (Delia) Lewis, Carter Lewis, and Shelley McCreery; three great-grandchildren, Ava and Chase Rabideau, and Damian Lewis; sister-in-law, Pat Strand and her children; and several nieces and nephews, including Susan Alberts and Bud Alberts.
