Nancy was born on January 6, 1942 in Los Angeles, California. She was the fourth child of Gail and Marie Cross. A few years later the family relocated to Carbon Canyon which is now known as Chino Hills, California. Being some of the first full time residents in the area, the family put down roots and Nancy resided there for most of her life. She had relocated a few times before making Cortez her home nearly a decade ago.
Nancy graduated Chino High School in 1959 and married the love of her life, Joseph Andrews, on February 13, 1965. She spent most of the next couple of decades caring for their children David and Lisa. Once her family had grown and moved she ventured out and proudly worked at the El Prado Golf Course.
