Nancy Williams Mills

on April 3, 2024.

She was born November 30, 1940, in Lemont, Pennsylvania, the daughter of T. Guy and

Elizabeth Pearl Williams. On October 23, 1982, she married Howard Money Mills, her husband

of thirty-seven years, with whom she retired and traveled the world.

Nancy was preceded in death by her husband, Howard Mills, her parents, T. Guy and Elizabeth

Pearl Williams, and her eight siblings: Pauline Phelps, Beatrice Clouser, Robert Williams, Calvin

Williams, Frances Williams, Thomas Williams, Martha Lowery, and Judith VanTries.

Nancy is survived by daughters Cynthia Venne (Joseph), Karen Pearson (Patrick), and Leisa

Mueller (Jeffrey); grandchildren Eric Venne, Victoria Brown, Anthony Stevens, Amber Stevens,

Emma Pearson, Mackenzie Pearson, and Darby Pearson; and great-grandchildren Joshua

Venne, Derick Stevens, Greyson Stevens, Gabriel Venne, Olivia Venne, and Gabriel Stevens.

Lastly, Nancy is survived by her loving Shih Tzu, Suzie Q who stayed by her side always.

Nancy graduated from State College High School in 1959, after which she began her lifelong

career in bookkeeping and banking.

Nancy’s faith was the foundation for her life, as shown in her service at multiple churches as a

Sunday school teacher and treasurer, her love of volunteering through Lions Club activities, her

assistance in starting Full Circle Thrift Store of Culpeper, VA, and more recently her participation

in Rise Against Hunger. Wherever she was, she always looked for ways to assist those around

her; she had so much love and generosity, which left a lasting impact on numerous lives over

the years.

Nancy spread joy through her hobbies of crocheting blankets for family and many friends, as

well as donating crocheted scarves and blankets to multiple organizations in Winchester, VA.

For decades, Nancy spread her faith by passing out her handmade cross pins during global

travels and hospital visits. Her little-known hobby was her ability to write poems about the

events around her, her emotions, and her experiences. Her absolute favorite pastime was

enjoying moments spent with her loved ones; she found great joy in her frequent game nights,

family dinners, and parties.

Nancy’s greatest joy was her relationship with God and loving devotion to her family and friends.

“I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”

Philippians 4:13
