Nancy Singleton Obituary
Singleton
1960 - 2019
Our sweet mother and loving wife, Nancy Graves Singleton, passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her loving family on February 4, 2019, after a valiant battle with cancer.
She was born February 11, 1960, the fourth of five children, to Doris and Morris Graves in Salt Lake City. She was raised in Murray, and graduated from Murray High School in 1978. She served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and remained a missionary throughout her life.
She married the love of her life and eternal companion, Todd Gary Singleton on February 26, 1983 in the Jordan River Temple. Her life revolved around their precious children; Nicki, Nanette Pututau (Joe), Noelle and T.J. She loved spending time with her family more than anything, whether they were snuggling watching a movie, having dance parties, laughing with each other, performing their family bluegrass band or vacationing in Disneyland.
Besides her family, she was the most passionate about the gospel of Jesus Christ, putting her heart and soul into every calling she had. She especially loved her years serving with the youth. She was a woman of many talents, and always said that her testimony of the gospel was her greatest blessing.
She also had a fiery passion for entrepreneurship and enjoyed starting and growing multiple successful businesses, with her husband as her partner. She faced many trials in her life and always remained an optimist asking herself "What's good about this?"
Survived by her husband, children, four siblings; Marti Johnson, Russell Graves, Becky Wilkes, Tom Graves, mother-in-law, Jackie Singleton, and a very large and loving extended family. She was preceded in death by her parents and father-in-law, Gary Singleton.
She left a lasting impression on everyone she met, making them feel like they were her best friend.

Memories and Condolences
for Nancy Singleton
February 9, 2019
Dear Graves and Singleton family,
The Blair family was devastated to hear of the passing of the most sweet, kind, adorable Nancy Singleton. We loved her!
We all grew up on Hillside Drive together and had the pleasure of all gathering on Sundays to worship our savior. She was so fun and she could make anyone laugh. She did have personality plus.
Although as we all grow up and move on, we lose those daily contacts in our lives. But her memories will forever hold strong in our hearts.
We will miss you Nancy Singleton but we all know that Doe and Betty have a Grande party awaiting you. So enjoy all of the activities.
Our heart condolences for the Graves and Singleton families. She will all be with you all and watching over you.
Love Holly, Liz and Tracey

Dear Todd and Family,
I have such wonderful memories of your family living in the 12th Ward, especially our Youth Conference at Wheeler Farm. Your beautiful Mom was there to help and I loved associating with her and you, Nikki and Nannette, enjoying the music from your family that made every occasion special. I am out of town but wanted you to know of my love for each of you. Wrap your memories around your hearts and remember all your special times with her.
Much love,
Pat (Johnson) Pinder
