Nancy McGinty Dodd, 64 of Mira Loma, formerly of Springfield, Virginia, passed away peacefully Monday, April 17, 2017 at her home with her family by her side. She was born September 1, 1952 in Ogden, Utah, a daughter of the late Winnant (Mac) McGinty and Delores McGinty.
Nancy was a loving, devoted wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and a friend.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Robert McGinty.
She is survived by her best friend, lover and devoted husband of 42 years, William A. (Bill) Dodd, her children, Aaron C. Dodd, Crystal D. Dodd, Devon A. Dodd and her grandchild, Sage Z. Dodd; her three sisters, Laura McGinty, Peggy Souci and her husband, Dennis, Mary Shaw and her husband Paul; her brother Michael McGinty, and "adopted" sister, Susan Edsen.
The epitome of unconditional love. Those words barely begin to describe this beautiful soul. Nancy was a very accomodating and compassionate person with everybody she met. She knew she couldn't save the world by herself, but always made an effort to make friends with and help everyone she encountered while in this world. Everyone got a hug and a kiss no matter how well she knew them. Nancy was always more concerned about your well being than her own. Even in the last stages of her illness, when asked "How are you?", she would respond "l'm fine, how are you?", no matter how bad she felt.
Nancy always made time to listen, help, console or council (usually only if asked) no matter how busy she was and loved doing it even if it was inconvenient or painful.That was the unconditional love and compassion in her heart. She was a scout leader, church, community and civic volunteer. She participated in and volunteered for all of her children's activities as they were growing up.
Those that were closest to Sweet Nancy will have her in their hearts forever and will continue her legacy by always living her life lessons and spread the love she so deeply imbedded in each of us.
Let us all keep Sweet Nancy in our hearts forever.
