Nan raised her 3 oldest children as a single mother, faithfully fulfilling the role of both mother and father. Nan married the love of her life, Mitchell Hershberger, on September 13, 1994, spending 28 years together. She was a faithful wife and greatly enjoyed the life they built. Nan was a hardworking woman, spending several years as a bookkeeper for Northwood Transport and more than 23 years at KB Matz Transportation with her favorite boss Butch. Family was her greatest joy and she was actively involved in her children’s and grandchildren’s lives. She also loved volunteering at Kalkaska Seventh Day Adventist Church, especially with Vacation Bible School and Pathfinders. Throughout the years things that brought her joy included plants and flowers, drawing and painting, crocheting blankets and scarves, family campfires, and helping others whenever she could. Tootsie rolls and bologna sandwiches also made her list of favorite things. Her sense of humor and quick wit were traits for which she will forever be remembered. Nan was an excellent cook and her family enjoyed many meals together. Nan was the strength and glue of her family; she will be dearly missed.
