Nancy attended the Cameron University where she earned her Associate’s Degree. She also took some classes at the University of Oklahoma. Nancy married Bud Hardcastle and to this union, a daughter Debbie was born. She later married Aaron Madden, and this city girl moved to the Madden family farm near Washington. Nancy worked mostly as a homemaker, although she also spent several years managing Subway Restaurants. Nancy was a ‘free spirit’ who enjoyed life. She loved decorating and then redecorating her home. She was an excellent hostess and looked forward to entertaining family and friends, especially during the holidays. After Aaron’s passing, she moved to Norman and eventually Purcell.
