Nancy was affectionately called “Grammy” by her 10 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her beloved granddaughter, Amanda Paige Ragan.
Nancy was a loving and dedicated mother, grandmother, and nurse. She enjoyed several hobbies such as gardening, reading, crocheting, camping, swimming, and going to the beach. Nancy was a lover of animals, particularly dogs.
