Nancy Shaw, nee Russell, was born November 29, 1950 to parents Lawrence H. and Grace (Goodsite) Russell. Nancy was a 1968 graduate of Robert S. Rogers High School, Toledo, OH. Post-secondary education took Nancy to England, as well as the University of Connecticut at Storrs, Connecticut where she incorporated her life long love of horses with advanced dressage training. When she returned to Toledo, she became a dressage instructor. In addition, she worked for several years in the flight service of Owens-Corning Fiberglas at Toledo Express Airport. Her interests included camping, gardening, cooking, and taking care of her many pets.
Nancy is survived by her loving husband, Bob Shaw, three stepsons, Chad (Jesse) Mullins, Jeremy (Liz) Mullins, and Nicholas (Brittany) Shaw, and six grandchildren. She will be missed by sister, Sharon (Fred) Moor, and nephews Patrick (Jill), Justin (Julie), and Steve (Lauren) Moor.
Private services will be held at the convenience of the family. The family asks that donations be made in her memory to The Humane Society, and World Wildlife Fund.

Nancy and I were great friends growing up in the same neighborhood. I have many fond memories. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
