Nancy was born and raised in Cottondale, Ala. and graduated from Holt High School in 1967. She worked at BellSouth for many years but is perhaps best known for her position as "Mrs. Nancy", the Pre-K coordinator at First Wesleyan Academy. Despite numerous health struggles, she always had a smile on her face and a positive attitude. She enjoyed 47 years of marriage to Ronnie, the love of her life. She loved her family fiercely and was a wonderful Nannie to her three grandchildren. She loved Jesus and because of that, we celebrate knowing that she has been made whole in the presence of the Lord.
Pallbearers will be Jason Wyatt, Billy Wilkins, Jr., Carl Faulkner, Larry Miles, Gary Summerlin and Bryan Wilson.
Honorary pallbearers are Sharon Apperson Wilson, Lucy Steeves, Ashley Balentine, Phyllis Ball, the "Awesome" TSICU nursing staff and Dr. Phil Hemstreet.
