Nancy was born December 15, 1950, in Pratt, Kansas, to Ellis W. Jr and Betty Jeanne (Patterson) Huitt.

She earned her degree from Fort Hays State University before opening her own home decor business after graduating college.
For the majority of her career Nancy worked in the home décor industry, traveling across Kansas and forming close relationships with local shop owners. She especially loved small Kansas downtowns.
More than anything, she loved being a grandmother to her grandchildren, William (13) and Anna Grace (10). She was an avid KU basketball fan, a dog lover, and enjoyed trips to the Colorado mountains. She was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church.
Nancy is survived by her son, Brad Kingsley (Rebekah) of Bentonville, AR; sister, Linda Kay Huitt of Longmont, CO; and her grandchildren, William and Anna Grace. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Mike Huitt.
