I worked with Nancy at PCG and she was the nicest and most genuine person I have ever met. I loved hearing her stories about the ladies of the 60's and all of her stories of her brother with the furniture store and her nephew. When my co-workers in Kansas City would ask what Nancy was like, I would tell them she is what you would think about when you think about a Southern Woman, sweater around her shoulders and even said "Bless her heart!" She was such a big part of my start at PCG. I am very saddened to hear of her passing. I am praying for all of her family that loved her dearly.

Nancy was the most precious person to me. She impacted my life in so many ways. Every niece should as fortunate as me. I loved coming to visit as a child and I continued this as an adult. We'd watch Hallmark, go to the fish camp, relax and talk about all the beautiful memories of our family and how much we were blessed. Tell my mom,dad, husband and aunts and uncles I said hello. I will always cherish her memory,

Nancy was our neighbor for 8 years when we lived across the street from her. She was such a wonderful neighbor. She would call and tell us she was glad to see we were home from a long trip or she would say I was always welcome to come over when she saw Bill was working late. She was always looking out for us. The day we moved to Europe, she invited us over to her house while the movers emptied our house. It was such a kind gesture because it was an emotional time for us and it was wonderful to have a friend to talk to instead of waiting around as our house was emptied. We were blessed to go back for a couple visits since we moved 5 years ago, and Nancy's smiling face was always there to greet us. She was so very, very happy to meet our beautiful daughter and couldn't stop telling us how proud she was of us. She was truly a blessing in our life. She made us feel at home in our first house and I will never forget her smiling face and true southern hospitality. I called my mom to tell her of Nancy's passing and my mom, who only met her once, remembered her and said was a nice lady she was. That is the impact Nancy had on people.

Dear Family, I was so surprised to see Nancy's passing in the paper. She was a rare jewel of a person. I have known her for many years thru school and church. I don't know if I could think of a better person than she. I know you all will miss her, but to know that she is in a better place can bring comfort. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

We are very sad to hear that Nancy has passed away. She was always such a kind and gentle person much like her Mother. She was a true Southern Lady and one of my Mother's favorites. There is a great celebration going on in Heaven as she joins the other angels. Rest in Peace Sweet Lady.

When I think of Nancy I think of a lady who always had smile and always had time to stop and chat about the past and our family when our paths would cross. What a wonderful person Nancy was. God gained a special Angel when he called Nancy Home.

I write this with tears in my eyes. Nancy was always my hero. Such a great role model. I cant think of First Baptist without thinking of her. Im sure we kept her on her toes in Sunday School. I hope she knew how much we loved her. We need more Nancy Van Pelts in this world. My thought will be with the family. Thank you for sharing Nancy with us.

I worked with Nancy back in the 70s and 80s as a manager in Burlington IT across the hall from the office that she shared with Kay Long. We were in the front offices of the police department at the building near Main Street in Cramerton NC. She was a saintly lady and I know that the good Lord has received a wonderful angel.
