Nancy was born on April 6, 1950, in Marshalltown, Iowa, the daughter of Orran "Dale" and Donna (Skrovig) Robinett.

She graduated from South Tama High School in 1968. She then graduated from Paris Academy of Beauty in Cedar Rapids and later Marshalltown Community College to be a Medical Assistant.

On June 29, 1968, Nancy was united in marriage to Daniel Chyma at Elim Lutheran Church in Marshalltown, Iowa.  Nancy owned The Top Attention Hair Salon in Tama and was a well known Beautician in the area for many years. Prior to that, she worked for Farm Bureau selling insurance, and the Marshalltown Police Department. Nancy attended several area churches and was a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles Auxiliary, and several Beautician organizations. She liked baking cakes and Cinnamon Rolls and loved delivering gifts to everyone for birthdays and any other occasion.  Her greatest joy was the time she spent with her family and grandkids. Nancy battled her illness with courage and dignity right up until the end. She was loved and will be deeply missed by her regular clients, and her friends in the community as well as her family.
