Nancy Foland Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Jeffers Funeral Chapel - Afton on Jan. 28, 2026.
Nancy passed away at her home, on January 22nd, 2026 surrounded by the place and people who knew her best.

She was deeply loved by her Comcare family and by the loyal staff who cared for her day after day, year after year. To them, Nancy was not just someone they supported, but someone they cherished.

Nancy found joy in simple things. She loved looking through magazines, and she never turned down chocolates or sweet treats. Those small pleasures brought her comfort and happiness, and everyone who knew her learned to celebrate those moments with her.

Though she didn't use words to communicate, she had her own way. Those who knew her understood her expressions, her moods, and her quiet presence, especially through her eyes. She had a way of being felt in a room without ever needing to speak.

Anyone who would like to show their respects to Nancy is welcome to join for a celebration of life on Wednesday, February 4th at 10:00 a.m. at Comcare Inc., 100 Pennsylvania Ave., Greeneville TN, with Rocky Dunbar officiating. A graveside service will follow at 12:00 p.m. at Graceland Memorial Gardens.

Nancy will be remembered for her wild spirit and for the love she gave and received so freely. Her life mattered. Her life was valued. And she will be deeply missed.
