Nancy was a lifetime member of Cayce United Methodist Church, where she taught 3 year old Sunday School for over 20 years. Nancy taught this class until her health would no longer allow her to do so. She graduated from Brookland-Cayce High School in 1984. She also received her Graphics Design Degree from Midlands Technical College. Nancy was a lover of people and made friends wherever she went. She loved crocheting, needlepoint, playing games and doing puzzles on her i-pad. Nancy made beautiful afghans and she loved to surprise her family or her friends with them as a gift. We would like to thank Nancy's aide, Linda W. Samuels, for providing loving care for over 2 years. Linda became a part of our family. We are also grateful to Gentiva Home Health for sending nurses, Joy and Amanda, who provided wonderful care for Nancy. We would like to say a very special thank you to the nurses and other staff of the IICU of Lexington Medical Center for providing comforting care during the last days of Nancy's life. Memorials may be made to the building fund of Cayce United Methodist Church, 1600 12th Street, Cayce, SC 29033.
