Sorry to read this sad news of Nancy's passing. We are related but far in distant. I am the daughter of the late
Gorrell W. & Ella Adams. We got to see Nancy when she was at Yadkin Nursing Center at Yadkinville as the matter of she was across the hall from my mother and we got to visit with her and she came to visit with my mother several times each day. We knew her and Rex and came by to see both of them when we came to Elkin.
She was a very sweet lady and will miss seeing her just keep the memories of her close to your heart. It is so hard to except losing your parents. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this difficult time and in the days ahead.
