Nancy also had great-grandchildren in her life: Hannah Kintzel; Conner, Ryan and Cora Reber; and Finely and Penelope Baker. There are also too many to mention that called her Nana, Aunt Nanny, Grandmother. She was always a giver and loved by everyone she met!
Pressler was a vivacious lady who never met a stranger, and was loved by everyone that met her. This started in high school: She was a cheerleader, a drum majorette and runner-up for Miss Indiana.
She enjoyed being a business owner with her husband in a local construction company, NBC Homes, that built many homes in the surrounding area. As she became older, she was an active member of American Legion Post 253 and also enjoyed participating in the Elks, Eastern Star and many other clubs.
She loved her children, her grandchildren, her friends and her bling! She had a heart of gold and was always there to help anyone who needed it.
The family will have a celebration for her on Tippecanoe Lake around midsummer to honor her life here.
Pressler has been laid to rest with her late husband, Bob Pressler, at the National Cemetery in Bushnell, Fla.
