Nancy Roper, age 72, of Cumming Ga, passed away on Tuesday, September 16, 2025 after a long illness. She was a strong woman who battled and beat breast cancer and was a stroke survivor who fought hard for many years.

Funeral services will be held 2:00 PM, Friday, September 19, 2025 in the Chapel of Memorial Park Funeral Home with interment to follow in Memorial Park Cemetery.

Nancy was the beloved wife of Cecil Roper for 33 years. She is also survived by her children, David Chumley (Melissa), Joey Chumley (Camille), Michelle Hughes (Clay), and Stephanie Duran (Wade). She also leaves behind 9 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren who were her pride and joy.

Nancy grew up in a large family with 12 siblings and had numerous nieces and nephews who she loved dearly. She had a special love for the Georgia Bulldogs and enjoyed football games, pool parties on the 4th of July, and cookouts surrounded by her family.

The family is especially grateful to those who visited and supported Nancy during her time in the nursing facility, as well as to the caregivers and hospice staff who provided compassion and care in her final months.

She was a damn good dawg, GO DAWGS!!!
