When [[Daniel Larson]], her grandson, was | When [[Daniel Larson|Daniel]], her grandson, was approximately 11 years old, he was removed from his mother’s care due to him suffering from alleged abuse and neglect.<ref>[[KWGN Tennyson Center News Report]]</ref> After Daniel was taken from her daughter’s care, a custody battle involving Elisabeth, Travis, and Nancy began. Information on this is sparse, but according to Daniel, Nancy’s main argument for him to not be in his father’s care was because he, quote, “didn’t even know his father.”<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> One of the other reasons stated for Nancy wanting custody of Daniel was due to fear of him ending up in a foster home, which he had been in many beforehand. Regardless of the validity of the former statement, this raises many questions about what Daniel and his father's relationship was like before his parents broke things off. It is possible that Nancy was a case manager for Daniel, or at least took on that role during Daniel's stay within his foster homes and under her guardianship. | ||

On | On October 24, 2018, Nancy Shimer passed away at the age of 75 due to complications from [https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/mantle-cell-lymphoma/symptoms-causes/syc-20584872 mantal cell lymphoma], a rare, aggressive form of cancer that impacts the lymphatic system.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/share/1GjcFQRNZf/?mibextid=wwXIfr</ref> While Nancy was passing away, Daniel was invited to the hospice center, where Nancy stayed in her last moments. Instead of seeing her, Daniel chose to attend a Special Olympics game he was participating in to show that he was a “fighter." It is unknown if this was due to him simply not wanting to go, or because he was not invited. In YouTube comments made by his mother, she mentions how Daniel had allegedly beaten his grandmother, even when she was on her deathbed. If true, this may have been a contributing factor if he was not invited to her funeral. | ||
It is unknown where Nancy's funeral service was held, and it is widely believed that she was cremated. | It is unknown where Nancy's funeral service was held, and it is widely believed that she was cremated. | ||
