Leave a tribute for Nancy Vinci.
I am so excited for Nancy walking the streets of gold. I know she is flying high. I am keeping your entire family in my prayers. God bless all of you..
Nancy and her girls were a huge part of my childhood. Growing up across the street from the Vinci’s was so much fun. I felt like I had 4 extra little sisters and Nancy always welcomed me and my sister into her busy home. In high school, I babysat for her girls and was amazed at how she made it look easy raising four active girls. Nancy was kind, generous, and always had a smile. My condolences go out to the “Vinci girls”.
