Nancy Wallace Obituary
Born on September 8, 1948, in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, she was a graduate of Connellsville Area High School Class of 1966. Nancy married her high school sweetheart, Larry Wallace.
Nancy enjoyed a career working in the field of optometry. She had a special way of making everyone feel like an old friend with her contagious smile. In retirement, she split her time between her homes in Dunbar, Pennsylvania, Port Orange, Florida and Champion, Pennsylvania. She was an avid camper and enjoyed spending time with her family, reading the Daily Courier and attending the Methodist Church in Dunbar.
Nancy is survived by her son Jeffrey Wallace (Terry) of Connellsville, Pennsylvania; her daughter Jennifer Herman (James) of Hernando, Mississippi; her sister-in-law, Wanda Garcia (Leroy) of Monroe, Washington; and her grandchildren Elizabeth and Beau Herman, also of Hernando; Brother-in-law, David McCormick of Connellsville, Pennsylvania and special nephew Jamey McCormick (Kelly) of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Nancy was preceded in death by her husband of nearly 60 years, Larry Wallace; her father, Edward Sidehamer; mother, Jane Sidehamer; sister, Greta McCormick; special cousins Glenda Cavins; Suetta Franklin and Donald Kailing.
Per her wishes, there will be no public viewing or services. Arrangements are under the direction of Hernando Funeral Home, 2285 Hwy. 51 S., Hernando, MS 38632.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Homeless Cat Management Team, P.O. Box 444, Natrona Heights, PA 15065. Phone: 412-321-4060

To the Wallace family-please accept our deepest sympathy. My husband´s parents, Dave and Delores Duvall, were neighbors and friends with Nancy and Larry for many years, at Mt. Pines campground. I know they thought the world of them. May God comfort you in the days to come.
