Nancy was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. Their home was always the gathering spot for her children and their friends. She dearly loved her grandchildren and cherished her time with them at her beloved Holden Beach home. Nancy was a legendary cook and extraordinary hostess, opening her home to friends, family, and neighbors, always with a delicious home-cooked meal, freshly made dessert, and cup of coffee. She was renowned for her pound cakes and chocolate eclairs made for family gatherings, and delivered to church dinners, welcoming new neighbors, giving comfort to anyone going through difficult times, and even to her mechanic, doctor, and mail person.
Nancy was an elder in the Presbyterian Church, a Trustee of the Holden Beach Chapel, and held many leadership positions in her church and the community. She was a talented oil painter with family home places as her favorite subject. She enjoyed public speaking and was a real estate investor.
