Nancy Jairel Rule passed away on May 30, 2025, in her home surrounded by family. A celebration of life will be held in Roanoke and an announcement will be made over Facebook to close friends and family.
Nancy worked for 41 years for the Civil Service. First as an administrative assistant for the Army in Newport News, VA. In 1978, moving to Wise, VA, she worked for M.S.H.A. and then retired from Social Security Administration. She still had very close friends from both places that were near and dear to her heart.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Mason Jairel Harvey and Hazel Irene Wyrick Harvey, and husband, William Max Rule.
Survivors include daughter Robin Renee Lowery and husband Brian of Roanoke, Va.; one grandson Jacob Underwood, wife Courtney Underwood, and two great granddaughters Lily and Amelia Underwood; one step-grandson Christopher Lowery; one step-granddaughter Ashley and step great-granddaughter Chloe; two brothers Donald Harvey of Newport News, Va and Douglas Harvey of Millboro, VA; one sister-in-law Peggy Rule of Waynesboro, Va; one brother-in-law Frank Rule of Princeton, WV and a host of relatives and special friends.
A special "Thank You" to the Medi Home Health & Hospice team who gave exceptional care. She was able to pass away peacefully with no pain or suffering. A special "Thank You" to Dr. Craig Mitchell who led us to the services of the Medi Home Health & Hospice program.
