Nancy Einertson
Nancy
began as a substitute ringer in 1998 and has been a ringing member of
Bells of the Lakes since 2000. She has been ringing and/or directing
handbells since 1985. Nancy studied accordion at Johnny’s
Music
in Duluth while growing up and played in the Duluth Accordionaires
under the direction of John Copiskey for several years. She traveled
with the Accordionaires to Finland, Romania, and across most of the
U.S., and was involved with two of their recordings. Nancy was a member
of the Minnesota Accordion Orchestra in Minneapolis in 2003. She is
also an artist when it comes to creating the Bells of the Lakes dyed
gloves and she keeps the group on track by keeping the calendar
current, expertly weaving the calendars of all the members into one.
She plays handbells with Faithful Ringers of Faith Lutheran Church in
Coon Rapids. Nancy and her husband, Tom, have two children at
home–Joey and Kelsey.
