Guestbook

  1. Nancy was a classmate of my brother( 1 yr. ahead of me) so I got to know her a little bit. She always wore a smile and was friendly, and even after school, when I saw her, she was the same, just a sweet person. Praying strength for you. Dot Parrish

  2. What a beautiful person she is. Nancy has always greeted me with a smile and friendly conversation. A true blessing to have her as my neighbor. She will truly be missed but the love will continue to be shared by those of us left here.

  3. Time is one of life’s pleasures that is always in short supply. I will always treasure the time of knowing such a gracious lady! God Bless .

  4. Sandra Sending love & prayers to you and Skip. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Be comforted and encouraged. 🙏❤️ Rob

  5. Sandra, Skip, and family– Mrs. Judy, Abigail, and family– We are so sorry for your loss. Please know you are in our prayers. Love, Randy & Bonnie Wright, and family

  6. A truly sweet and loving soul. I had the pleasure of working many years with Nancy at United Federal. I will always cherish the memories that we made. She will certainly be missed by all that were blessed to know her.

  7. So many memories with Mr. and Mrs. Langley. Sitting on the front porch with Mr. Langley. Mrs. Langley always with a smile and maybe some chicken salad to share. She always made me laugh when I would when I would come over and see the BB gun by the door if the squirrels got on her bird feeder. Always looking out for her neighbors. We will always remember the love she shared with us all on Laurel Trail.
