Nancy was preceded in death by her husband of 61years, Roy Lee, her parents, Arthur and Louthenia Crumpton, sister Peggy, brother Arthur 'Junior', daughter-in-law Parrish, and grandson Phillip.
Nancy is survived by her children, Michael (Adriane), Phyllis, and Teresa (Angela); her grandchildren, Amanda (Josh), Emily (Tyler), Rachel (Cole), Jonathan, and Jacob; and great-grandchildren, Chloe (Gabe), Layla, Lily, Maverick, Trace, Ava, and Beau. She leaves behind many nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly.
Nancy had a strong belief in her Savior. She was a member of James Memorial Baptist Church, where she enjoyed singing in the choir. She will be missed greatly by her family and friends.

Ms. Nancy was a dear friend, a wonderful SS teacher, Bible scholar, praying warrior & so many more wonderful things. She inspired me always & uplifted me & changed my attitude & thoughts about one of the most important things in a woman´s life. Also she made me understand so much more the burial/cremation. She was dedicated to checking in on me. We talked an hour about a month ago. I called her that time.
She was always tickled to hear from me as I was from her. She was a beautiful lady with a beautiful soul & I know she´s up there with Bro. Roy & Phillip & her Momma & they´re have a blessed reunion.
She will truly be missed. I will miss her being here for me & her wise direction.
May you rest in peace my sweet friend, & I know your eyes are all healed & opened wide as you gaze uping the splendor of Heaven.
Love, your friend, Jackie
