During the next many years, she lived her life to the fullest. Nancy Bickers was a mother, taught piano lessons, was the church organist, and became the director of religious education and the associate pastor of Hyde Park Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Austin, Texas. Nancy was then selected to be the first executive director of the Highland Lakes Battered Women’s Center in Marble Falls, Texas, and then she went on staff with Texas Council on Family Violence. After leaving the Texas Council on Family Violence she had her own counseling service.
She was mother to Thomas E Bickers Jr. (Carol) of Grand Prairie, Texas; Dr. Kenneth Bickers (Laura) of Longmont, Colorado; Dr. Jay Bickers (Rhonda) of Weatherford, Texas, and Lisa Warren (Leonard) of Cheyenne, Wyoming.

She and her husband, Thomas Bickers Sr., after retirement in 1997, spent the next 19 years traveling the United States and Europe, which included ten years of full-time RVing.
She left a legacy of family and love, and though she will be sorely missed, is now with the angels.
