Reflecting on her time as organist, Nance commented: “I am not sure of the number of years, maybe 45 or more, but I thank God and the Raloo congregation for the privilege of playing the organ and assisting the Ministers to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”

Minister of Raloo Presbyterian Church Neil Bingham thanked Nance on behalf of the congregation for her long service and dedication, and presented her with flowers.

Nance is continuing in her role at Raloo as P W President and leading the Church Choir.
