Nancy was born in Fort Worth, Texas, to Jack and Dorothy Jordan on April 22, 1942. She went to school at Polytechnic High School in Ft. Worth, Texas, Class of 1960. She married David Lee Morrison, her best friend and love of her life, on July 1, 1961, in Fort Worth, Texas. In 1974, she graduated from Texas Wesleyan College in Fort Worth, Texas, with a Bachelor of Science and went on to earn a Master's of Art in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Texas in Arlington in 1983. She worked as an elementary public school teacher for Arlington Independent School District and Mansfield Independent School District for more than 30 years.

She was a lifelong Methodist, an early member of Trinity United Methodist Church and, most recently, an active member at First United Methodist Church of Arlington along with being a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Nancy loved shopping, sweets, reading, spending time with her beloved husband, traveling, and being best friends with her five grandchildren. She was generous, kind, interested, and loyal traits that make such a difference in our world.

Nancy is preceded in death by her father Jack Jordan and mother Dorothy Jordan of Acton, Texas, and brother Don Jordan of Boulder, Colorado.
