Nancy grew up in Hickory Flat, MS and graduated as a Valedictorian from Hickory Flat High School in 1955. She attended Blue Mountain College in Blue Mountain, MS for two years before transferring to Union University in Jackson, TN. She graduated from Union University in 1959 with a degree in Business Administration and a minor in Education. While at Union, she became a member of Chi Omega sorority.

Nancy was offered a job with the Mississippi State Highway Department (MSHD) after college. She began her employment in the New Albany, MS project office. Within a year, she accepted a transfer to the district office in Batesville, MS. During this time, MSHD was planning I-55 in North Mississippi which broke ground in 1957. Nancy later transferred to the state office in Jackson, MS where she worked in both the Personnel and Public Relations departments.

In December 1960, a young man named Ben Morgan, an MSHD employee, asked her for a date to the MSHD Christmas party. They began dating and married on June 30, 1962, in Hickory Flat, MS.

Nancy and Ben moved their church membership to Broadmoor Baptist Church on September 16, 1962.

Nancy and Ben were blessed with the birth of two sons, Ben (1964) and Mark (1972). Nancy stayed primarily at home with her boys until they were school age. She ultimately retired as a teacher at Broadmoor Baptist Church Daycare after 18.5 years.
