Nancy grew up and attended schools in Northport, Alabama and graduated in 1955 from County High School. She then attended Livingston College in preparation for her career in business and office management. Over her career, she worked at and retired from Reichold Chemical, Hunt Oil and the University of Alabama's Office of Counsel. Nancy was also very dedicated to and active in all areas of church. Over the years she served in choir and was active in administration and service activities and organizations. Her hobbies and interest included travel, bowling, spending time with family and friends, and volunteering her time to give back to the community. She never met a stranger and especially enjoyed the gleam in a child's eye. She always tried to make sure that any new child had a cross or a crisp $2 bill to start their life's journey. She was dearly loved and will be missed by all who knew her.
