Tributes

  1. Nance was a beautiful lady, the matriarch and glue of the Folan family.

    She shared her love, welcoming smile and greeting with all who came into her life.

    For Nance her family was her everything.
    I know both Nance and Max will be so missed by their family members every day and certainly at the numerous family events and gatherings, which are so much a part of the Folan family ritual.

    I am thankful for her avid support to Cooinda over many years, sharing her great cooking skills, particularly of her prize winning jelly slice, at so many functions and fundraising events.

    My sincere thoughts and love are with the Folan family at this very difficult time, having experienced the deaths of both their parents within a very short time.

    A life so well lived.
