Nancy was raised in the Hyatt Community in a family of 9 children. She grew up on the Harris family farm surrounded with fresh air and nature where she learned to raise, preserve, and prepare food.
She attended Douglas High School and Married Bobby on Friday, September 13, 1957. They settled in the Sims Community to start their family. Nancy became a member and raised her children at Pleasant Hill II in Sims Community.

Nancy was a great cook who could be counted on to have wonderful dishes anytime the family got together. She loved her family and loved nothing more than hosting her family anytime she could call it a "holiday". She spoiled her grandkids and great grandkids so much that it was always a fight on whose turn it was to stay with Mamaw.
