Nancy was a very special person and I have many wonderful memories , starting at a very young age, when we both lived in Finney. Although our paths have only crossed a few times since high school she remained very dear to me.

Nancy was a wonderful and kind person! I am so thankful I have had the opportunity to work with her the past few years, especially this past spring on the IVS (interactive video system) Block II sequence. The elementary education students clearly adored her, as did all of us in the elementary education program. She will be greatly missed by all of us in the School of Teacher Education at WKU.
I enjoyed having Mrs. Button as a Home Economics teacher. I am very sorry to hear about the loss. My Mom also had her as a teacher. Our thoughts and Prayers are with you all. I know how it feels to loose a Parent my Dad has been gone a year.

Mrs. Button was a wonderful teacher to me in high school, but I saw her many times as she met at my work place in Metcalfe County as she would come in and out to meet with the teachers and principals . She will be truly missed. My prayers are with you all.
