I grew up with Nancy and we had some great times together. She was always so much fun and always laughing. We lost touch after we moved to Tennessee, but I will never forget her. I had some great cousins and she was one of them. I'll see her again in heaven! Look for me sweet cuz!
A great person, a wonderful friend with a great personality and a very good cook. Our deepest condolences—E.G. and Mary Frances Moody.

Nancy was the one who I think that kept the family together. Nancy was a great cook. I loved going to her house and enjoying her and Brooks they were a great couple. She had a great since of humor and I’m proud that I got to be in her life. RIP my friend
So sorry for your loss.
