Audrey Nummy

LEXINGTON - Aubrey Dee “Dee Dee” Squires Nummy, 63 years old, passed away on Monday, May 23, 2016. She was born February 6, 1953 in Bamberg, SC to Betty Jean and Alton Squires. She married her high school sweetheart, Don Alexander Nummy and was a devoted and loving wife of 46 years. Dee and Don are and were a true team. She made Don a better man. She doted on him, and he doted on her.

Together, they had and raised their daughter, Suzanne Nummy Shetterly (Mike) and son, Don Alexander Nummy, II (Dax and Karyn). They blessed her with five beautiful grandchildren, Alexandria Rae Smith (Lexi), Maxwell Montgomery Shetterly (Max), Micah Suzanne Shetterly (Micah), Mary Kathryn Nummy (Mary Kathryn) and Audrey Legare Nummy (Legare). She was a regular and positive influence on all of her grandchildren. They knew her well and viewed her as a model for how best to treat people.

She is also survived by her brother, Ray Squires (Pam) and her sister, Lynn Welch (Wayne), together with their children, Meredith Tuck, Rebecca Hallman, Dan Moore and Terri Shultz.

Dee never met a stranger in her life. She was a wonderfully kind person. She showed compassion and grace to all she met. She loved everyone-- stranger, friend or family alike. She expected the best from everyone, including herself and trusted everyone.

Dee attended Mt. Horeb United Methodist Church in Lexington, SC. She epitomized the golden rule. She worshiped God and no false idols, except maybe Elvis… Also she operated under her own, heightened Golden Rule, she treated everyone much better than she ever expected or wanted to be treated.

A memorial service in her honor will be held at 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 24, 2016 at Mt. Horeb United Methodist Church. The family will greet and welcome family and friends following the service.

Elmwood Funeral Home and Cremation Service is assisting the family with arrangements.
