So sorry for your loss. I lived next to the Ensinger family when they lived on Harmony Way and went to school with Paul. Many childhood memories were made at their house. Big house with six children, parents, auntie and grandparents. My sisters and I were excited when they moved to the big house as there were not many kids in the neighborhood. I remember their parents had square dance parties on the back patio. Found memories.

My husband met Nancy’s brother Paul at Shane Mfg in 1973 and they became fast friends. We met Nancy and her sister Barb a short time later. I last saw Nancy with her sister Barb at Lamasco listening to a live band. I kept commenting on how much she looked like her brother Paul and she finally said, “Well, we are related.” We both busted out laughing. She was so sweet and I’m sure she’s going to be missed by all her loved ones.
