She married Charles E. Scott, her college sweetheart in 1960. In 1984, after raising her four boys, she started work at Smythe Cramer Realtors, now Howard Hanna. After a successful career as a realtor she switched to corporate relocation where she consistently had the highest closing rate in the office. Nancy was always known for her amazing baked goods and was referred to by her clients as the "Cookie Lady". Nancy retired very briefly eight years ago but went back to work at the Green office as a salesperson where she worked right up to her last week.
