Nancy Lee Press

Ira Presslaff: "That is right Press. Dad would always say with a twinkle in his eye that he added the laugh to her life.

Mom passed away while living in Bloomington Indiana, however she brought up her family at Woodmere Long Island, New York. She was a lady in every way. The way she spoke the way she thought and even the way she stood. In her later years after the passing of her husband Murray she moved to Hollywood Florida. This was after she was seriously hurt in a terrorist bombing in December 1975 at LaGuardia airport. Her son Ronnie age 33 was killed in this bombing. This strong lady had lost her son Frank when he was only 36 years old, her son Morty at age 50, and not too long before the bombing her husband of more than 40 years. For a couple of years she lived with her son Ira on his 40 acre play farm outside of Bloomington Indiana.

After leaving Bloomington Indiana in her 80s she married Jack. Jack was over 90 at that time. They spent four good years together while living almost in the ocean in what we call their condominium in the sky at Hollywood Florida.

Before her marriage to her husband Murray she and her sister Clair had been one of the original JCPenney models. She loved to tell her sons that she was the belle of the ball which no doubt she was.he added a laugh to mother's life."
