Nancy Holstad Obituary
Nancy was dedicated to her career as a Christian education director of over 40 years and served with her late husband, the Rev. Vernon F. Holstad, in their ministry through their many years together in Nova Scotia, Canada; Portersville; and, most recently, at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church in Knoxville, Tenn. for more than 20 years. Nancy grew up in Savannah, Ga., and enjoyed classical music, puzzles and fellowship with her friends.
Nancy was preceded in death by her parents, Edwin M. and Kathryn Page Lipscomb; siblings, Thomas, Katherine and Richard Lipscomb; and her husband of 49 years, the Rev. Vernon Floyd Holstad.
Nancy is survived by her son, Scott Cameron Holstad and wife, Gretchen VanOstrand; beloved nieces and nephews; and her church family at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church.
Her family would especially like to acknowledge their appreciation for Nancy's church friends who showed such care, commitment and support during her last months.
HOLSTAD - A graveside service for Nancy Elizabeth Lipscomb Holstad, who died Monday, Aug. 5, 2024, will be held privately, per her request.
