Holly Nance

Holly was the natural family leader, excelling in every aspect of life because of her passionate intensity and never-ending love expressed and felt by all. Her loyalty and extreme protectiveness to her children made her Mama Bear, do not mess with her cubs was a phrase heard many times. She was best friend and devoted wife to Larry Ray Nance of 24 years in which the love shared could be seen when they floated across the dance floor.

Being highly intelligent, head strong and hard-working Holly had 43 years of a very successful career as a Defined Contribution Retirement Industry Professional with expertise in managing administrative functions and in-depth expertise in qualified employee defined contribution benefit plans. Results oriented, with proven track record in daily operations. Consistently evaluated as superior in functional and supervisory performance. Successful manager and team builder with outstanding record of client satisfaction and retention. Dedicated and committed to absolute quality in all aspects of job responsibilities.

Holly worked hard and played just as hard. Enjoying the precious moments shared with her family, always finding time and excuses to get everyone together. In the time not spent with family was filled with the hobbies she shared with her husband. She had a competitive spirit which was apparent in her pool shooting and playing shuffleboard both on a competitive level. Qualifying for or simply taking part in tournaments across the country.
