Nancy Jane Flick Serene

Our beloved Nancy Jane Flick Serene, age 71, passed on to her Savior's arms in
her home on Sunday, April 13th, 2014, after a courageous battle with ALS. 

Born October 20, 1942, in Fenelton, Pa, she was the daughter of the late Arthur
H. Flick and the late Verna Pearl (Bauer) Flick;
 
Nancy graduated in 1960 from Worthington-West Franklin High School, Worthington,
Pa. 

Having already fashioned a successful career as a finance director of
not-for-profit organizations (most notably as VP of Finance for the Tampa YMCA),
she earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the University of Tampa,
then earned her CPA credentials. She retired from Rowland Park Country School in
Baltimore, MD.

Nancy was a woman of strong Christian faith and love for God, for her husband of
51 years, Don Terry Serene, and for her three children and family. 

She was a member of Grace Coastal Church. She traveled and lived in many places
as an active partner in a military family, and was most recently a resident of
the Sun City Whispering Oaks community, where she treasured the great friends
she and Don have made.

If ever a soul was born who lived to share the Hope within her, may she now hear
"Well done." She has slipped the surly bonds of earth, put out her hand and
touched the face of God.
 
She is survived by her husband Don, sister Agnes Curfman (Ned), Robert Flick
(Annie), Timothy Flick (Diane) and Stephen Flick (Beth); mother to Terri Serene
of Ashburn, VA, Connie Serene Shiplett (Edward) of Mebane, NC, and Thomas Serene
of Napa, CA; and grandmother to Lauren Shiplett and Matthew Shiplett. She loved
and enjoyed numerous aunts and uncles, nieces, nephews, grandnieces and
grandnephews, and cousins.  

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, David.

There will be a service celebrating her life on Wednesday, April 16th at 11:00
AM at Grace Coastal Church in Okatie, SC.
