Nancy -- My memory drifts back to the year 1952 and our graduating senior class at the J.B. Young High School, Bemis, TN. You were always the happy smiling young girl willing to help others and engage in upbeat conversation with sparkling laughter! During the 60 years that have gone past since those school days I have had the pleasant opportunity to visit with you when I traveled back to Jackson, TN to visit with my relatives who were also your relatives. God Bless You Smiling Nancy! I know that God has welcomed another ANGEL to His Heavenly Home! My prayers are with your daughter Alicia, her husband Mike and your family.

Nancy was a wonderful person never saw her that she didn't have that big smile on her face. I work in the Bemis Mill Office when she worked in the Cotton Dept Lab. She was a blessing to so many. God Bless & Comfort her family as only you can! Rita Briley

My Aunt Nancy was just simply the other half of my immediate family. She and my mom switched out Thanksgiving and Christmas get togethers every year and it was always a memorable time! She made homemade birthday cakes and let me pick out which kind I wanted every year. My favorite of all her cakes was her coconut cake. I spent many nights with her as a child and enjoyed her company as I grew up with more family gatherings. I've missed her for quite some time now but I know that she now has a new mind and a new body hopefully cooking for someone in heaven!

I was 14 years old when Nancy came into my life as my sister in law. We have shared much laughter and many tears over the years.We have traveled most states and Europe. Thought I had lost her in London When they all most missed the last train that night on a gost hunt.We liked to fish , but the mosquitos loved Nancy, I tried to teach her to smoke and the mosquitos would go away. Well that was just funny. Can you ever in your wildest dream see Nancy smoking Really
We had wounderful times with our families. We can't go back, but we can thank God for her in our lives and cherish those memories forever.
