Nancy was very loving and sweet. She welcomed me into her family with opened arms. I love her and will miss her. When I get to Heaven,I’m sure she will see me and give me one of those big hugs she always gave. I can’t wait!
I worked with Teresa and we became good friends. I met Nancy a few times and used to run into her at Kroger. She was so happy going up and down each aisle, looking at all the new and different items. Losing your mother is so heartbreaking 💔. We always know as long as our moms are here, we are somebody’s little girl or boy. When they leave us, we are no longer grounded and feel lost. Time helps heal and so do dear friends. Sending love to all 🙏🏻❤️

Aunt Nancy was such a special lady in soooo many ways. She so loved her family and a God’s gift. I reflect on some childhood memories, and one of which I was mesmerized her whistling abilities. I always enjoyed receiving hand written Christmas cards from my Aunt Nancy.
I loved her soooo much and had planned to come see her after Christmas, but Covid kept me away. My continued thoughts and prayers to my Va family. R.I.P Aunt Nancy, Fly high…..love Vicki Wyatt
Mrs. Nancy was a very kind and loving woman with a beautiful smile and a tremendous heart. I love her dearly and will truly miss our time together. Rest in Paradise sweet lady💞💞💞
It must have been around 1955 or 1956 when Nancy kept me after school until my parents would pick me up. I only recently realized how young she and Fran were then.
I cannot recall a time when seeing Nancy that she wasn’t smiling. Always the consummate host, always considering others, I never saw her angry. What a wonderful world it would be if we all possessed her countenance.
Wishing you peace
