While Nancy was born with an array of physical and intellectual challenges, she was a woman of humor, compassion, and perseverance. She was known for her love of family and friends, her “one liners”, beautiful dolls, banana sandwiches, Parcheesi, “I Love Lucy” reruns, riding her three wheeled big bike and floating for hours in a big black inner tube in Pensacola Bay.

Nancy’s family is ever grateful for the loving care given to her by Christine Geddis, Virginia Geddis, and Brenda Powell. We could not have done it without you.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Nancy’s honor to Valley Rescue Mission at http://www.valleyrescuemission.org or at 2903 2nd Ave, Columbus, GA 31904.
