Nancy Elaine Bauer was born February 17, 1947 in Maniyunk, PA to Lillian M. and Webster W. Little. She started her life playing in the waters of the Delaware and Atlantic Ocean. She loved water and the sun and enjoyed them as much as possible. Her true loves were her dogs, any and all, they ended up at her house. She welcomed all strays into her home, whether they were canine, feline, swine or human, she welcomed any and all. She was a hard worker and her hobby was her yard and trees, and of course her lilac bushes. Not much luck with the willow, though.
