Nancy I Brennan's Obituary
BRENNAN, Nancy 93, passed away on January 3, 2023. Nancy was born in Tampa, FL and graduated from Hillsborough High School.

During her working years she enjoyed her membership and position of recording secretary with Beta Sigma Phi Sorority. She then met the man of her dreams, Michael R. Brennan Sr. They married and had 4 beautiful children. After her first child was born, Nancy began her much loved vocation of being a full-time mom, wife, and homemaker. She loved her husband, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and home very much. She was not only a great wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, but a loyal and true friend to her entire family.
