Nancy Herring

Nancy was born in Old Union on August 29, 1939 to the union of Garland Major Sr. and Unie Jerry Major.

Nancy was a lifelong member of New London Baptist Church in Strong where she served as a janitor, song leader, Sunday school teacher, Training Union Secretary, and sang in the choir. She was a faithful member of Eastern Star 280 of El Dorado where she served as secretary. She was a devoted Razorback fan and loved to call the HOGS!

Nancy was affectionately known as the "cake lady" and her delicious German Chocolate and Coconut cakes were frequently requested. She had making peanut brittle down to perfection.

She is preceded in death by her husband, William Aubrey Herring, five brothers: James, Bill, Hollie Ray, Harold, and Garland Jr.; and two sisters: Madie Alphin and Cynthia Meshell.

She is survived by her daughter, Beverly Jean Herring Flen (Rod); Son, Johnny Richard Herrring (Patricia), four grandchildren: Rodney Allen Flen (Mandy), Megan Shavon Flen (Scotty), Katie Lee Meade (Cage), Krystal Ann McCarty (Dylan); five great grandchildren: Ryleigh Nicole Flen, Jaden Aubrey Flen, Cooper Witt Meade, Paige Aubrey Meade, and Nora Kate McCarty; three sisters: Linda Cogburn, Jerri Agerton (Dee) and Deborah Drennan and a host of nieces and nephews.

She was truly a wonderful wife, mother, sister, mamaw, aunt and friend and will be greatly missed by all.

The family expresses a special thanks to Life Touch Hospice for their compassionate care.
