On August 17, 1953, in St. Marys, Nancy married John C. Goodreau, who preceded her in death on April 21, 1991.
She is survived by a daughter, Linda Klaiber and her fiancé Anthony Leo of Camp Hill, PA; three sons: Terrance J. Goodreau of Palm Springs, CA; Randall G. Goodreau and his wife Jamie of Perkasie, PA; and Thomas S. Goodreau and his fiancé Staci Enyedy of St. Marys; her five grandchildren: Jordan Goodreau, Ashtyn Goodreau, Tara Klimowicz, Adam Goodreau, and Lorena Goodreau; and by her four great-grandchildren.

She was also lifelong member of the St. Marys Sportsmen’s Club, a former member of the BPO Elks Club, and a cub scout den mother for ten years. She was a loyal fan of Penn State and the Pittsburgh Steelers. She enjoyed bowling, playing cards with her friends, and her time spent at her camp on East Branch Dam. Her greatest joy however, was each moment spent with her family.
