Nancy Carol Prieto

Nancy was born in 1938 to Leon and Janett McCullough in Rome, Georgia. Nancy was a 1956 graduate of Rome High School. Upon graduation, she attended Shorter College in Rome, Georgia. Thereafter, she took a position as a ‘stewardess’ with Delta Airline. She was always quick to point out that she was never a ‘flight attendant,’ she was a ‘stewardess’ when air travel “was still glamorous.”

In 1966, she met her husband of 56 years, the late Julio Prieto of Havana, Cuba. After living in several other states through the South, they settled in Adairsville. Nancy worked in offices at Adairsville Elementary, Middle School, and High School for many years. In 1986, Nancy took a position with the Clerk of the Floyd County Superior Court. She remained at the Clerk’s office until her retirement in 2005. She was a smiling face and always willing to help anyone who came to the courthouse.

Nancy was a Parishioner at St. Mary’s Catholic Church for over 40 years. She was an avid member of the Rosary Group and loved seeking out new adventures all over the world with the Traveling Saints.

Nancy was preceded in death by her parents, Leon and Janett, her brother Richard ‘Dick’ McCullough and her husband, Julio Prieto. Nancy is survived by her children, Angela Prieto Veach, Mike Prieto and his wife Kathy, Dan Prieto and his wife Dunneah, and Julie Goode and her husband Jeff; grandchildren: Tori Veach Wilson, Micaela Veach, Brittany Goode, Chandler Goode, Drew Prieto, Ryan Prieto, Lauren Prieto, Luke Prieto; great grandson Connor Wilson; and many nieces and nephews.

A Mass to celebrate Nancy’s life will be conducted Friday at one o’clock, the 14th day of April, 2023 at St. Mary's Catholic Church. Innichement will immediately follow in the church cemetery.
