Nancy Howard Obituary

Published by Everly-Wheatley Funeral Home on Aug. 31, 2013.
Nancy Lee Howard was born in Parkville, MD in Baltimore County on September 6th, 1942. She was raised on a farm by her mother, grandmother and grandfather, along with her three cousins, Bob, Judy and Barb. She OWNED THE DOLLHOUSE (her cousins will understand and laugh). She attended Parkville Elementary and, later, Parkville High School. Nancy spent most part of her life being the BEST wife to her loving husband, Jerry, and was the BEST mother to her son, also Jerry. She loved spending time with her family, especially travelling to the Eastern Shore and Florida to meet all of them. Nancy loved playing Bingo, and during the last trip to Florida with her husband, they went to the dog races with her family. Nancy was a dedicated worker for Tim Neville at an Alexandria, VA answering service for several years. She loved good old Maryland blue crabs, she could eat her husband under the table every time. He used to laugh about that. Her favorite Nascar race car driver was Tony "Smoke" Stewart, favorite Baltimore Oriole was Brian Roberts. And she adored Michael Bolton! Nancy enjoyed going to Ocean City every September. She got a lot of happiness any time her son, Jerry, was with her, Miracle and Jackson, her "granddoggies", lit up her life. She loved her neighbors and they loved her right back. In fact, everyone she ever met in her lifetime fell in love with her because of her kindness. The joy she brought to people's lives is unsurpassed. We know she would want everyone to not cry, but be happy, enjoy your life, see you in Heaven, and like she always told her son, "Smile". There never will be a more kind, lovable, sincere, and giving person than Nancy Lee Howard. We love you forever, our Angel. Nancy Lee Howard passed away and went with God on August 31st, 2013.
