I am so very sorry to hear of Mrs Eddy's passing. She was my teacher at Lockworks 99-00. She was so wild and full of humor, always making us laugh. I saw her all the time at Home Depot as well. She will be missed by alot of people. I will be praying for her family (she talked about them all the time, especially her dad!)

I worked with Nancy at Smartstyles and in her private salon for a short period of time. She was such a good person, always making you laugh, and had a good sense of humor. I didn't know of her passing until after the services. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers, and she will be missed. We have a Good God and He knew what was best. Lil Nate, Melissa,and Mr. Eddy, stay strong, and comfort each other in this time of sorrow. God Bless!!!

Please accept my deepest sympathies. Mrs. Eddy was teaching at Lockworks Academie during my time there (2001-2002). She taught me much more than cosmetology. The wisdom and compassion she shared with me has and will continue to be a part of my life. I just wanted you to know of another life she touched with her quick wit and warm hugs. I am pained to hear of her passing. My prayers to her friends and family.

Oh Eddy Family I got a call today of shock and sadness, I was at Home Depot Monday and Looked for her. We would catch up there.. I was a student at Lockworks 2001-2002. Mrs. Eddy became a very dear friend of mine as I went through the sudden passing of my father, she scooped me up, dusted me off and carried me through those days of unknown emotion. Without her as a major support system at that time I may not be where I am today. She gave me insight into how to cope with losing a loved one and she always got her point across with a smile. I can say that all of her students knew NOT to say the "S" words in her presence. She was loud and happy, she loved her family Deeply and as I spent some time with you all I understood why. You are all in my prayers and if I can scoop you up and dust you off in any way please just ask.....It is safe to say that a large number of us lockworks students are late in hearing of her passing and wish we could have paid our respects to our awesome teacher! Mrs. Eddy a friend & teacher you touched our lives and you will be missed deeply!
