Nancy’s career path began in New York City, with several years on the road singing principal roles in musical theatre productions.  USO Tours took her overseas, one in which she played Molly in “The Unsinkable Molly Brown”.

Romance took Nancy to Montana where she owned a real estate company, was the “Salesperson of the Year” in her area, and was elected to represent her peers on the National Board of Directors for the National Realtors Association.  Nancy’s first husband, Jim Waltermire, was Montana’s Secretary of State, President of the National Association of Secretaries of State, and Republican frontrunner for Governor when he and his pilot lost their lives in a plane crash.

She later married 9-term Congressman Dick Schulze (PA), member of the Ways & Means committee, founder of the Sportsmen’s Caucus in Congress and member of “The Reagan 13”.  Nancy resumed singing and became an event singer in Washington, D.C. performing solo from the U.S. Capitol Rotunda to Constitution Hall to Ambassadors’ Residences in Washington and abroad, to the Inaugural Prayer Service for the U.S. Congress, the Inaugural Prayer Service for the Governor of New York, Galas for First Ladies of the United States, and multiple others.  Nancy’s one woman show of World War II and patriotic music brought standing ovations in Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol. ≪ Hide
