General Treasurer

Nancy has been volunteering with the Flower Market since 1977. She first became involved when her friend asked her to volunteer parking cars. Nancy was unaware at the time who or what the Wilmington Flower Market was. During her time volunteering to park cars, she meant a lot of wonderful people and had so much fun. She has been with the Flower Market ever since, she was hooked. Nancy has sat on the Flower Market Board of Directors since 1986 where she was able to meet with our beneficiaries to discuss their needs. Nancy has had a passion for helping to raise money benefiting Delaware’s children and even has her family very much involved as well. Although the Flower Market has evolved and changed, as we must with the times, the mission has always remained the same!
