Nancy C. Hartz

AMBOY – Nancy Carol Hartz, 67, of Amboy died Saturday, May 19, 2018, after a short illness.

Miss Hartz, beloved sister, aunt, teacher and friend, was born Sept. 26, 1950, in Princeton, to Dale and Lois (Meikle) Hartz. Nancy graduated from Franklin Center High School, Eureka College, and Rockford College. She taught school for 33 years in Paw Paw, retiring in 2005.
