Nancy is married to Johnny and is a proud Mom and Grandma. Her favorite pastimes are spending time with her family and traveling. “Over the years I’ve learned that floor covering is a very vast field with constantly changing trends. There is always something new and fun to learn. I’ve been blessed to work for one of the best families around, thank you Siegmund family for 32 great years!”
