(nee Vrooman) Bercher, Nancy graduated Flossmoor High School and attended Syracuse University. She married Charles (Chuck) M. Taubman in Flossmoor, IL on April 11, 1970 and they raised their family in the northwestern suburbs of Chicago. Nancy was a gifted quilt artist and knitter for nearly 50 years. Always generous with her time and talents, she taught many family members how to knit, sew and quilt. Nancy donated the blankets and baby clothing she made to native Americans every winter. She loved the art, terrain and people of the southwest, spending countless vacations with Chuck traveling to their favorite destinations - old town Albuquerque, Canyon de Chelly, and of course, Prescott. A Memorial Service will be held at Ruffner-Wakelin Funeral Homes, 303 S.
