She enjoyed time with her granddaughter Melissa (Missy) Steele until she moved to Louisiana in 2004, where she then spent time with her grandsons, Michael (Mikey Doodle) Wayne Nation and the late Bobby Wayne Nation which passed away in 2015.

An important part of the South Bossier community, neighbors depended on Nancy to keep watch over the neighborhood. She was a member of Heritage Missionary Baptist Church and was grateful for the many friends there, as well as the prayers they sent up for her and her family during the difficult times. She was especially devoted to Brother Cole Melton.

In addition to Sherri, Carla and Michael Nation, Nancy is survived by Sherri’s husband, Joe Clark, Carla’s husband, Meritt Nation, granddaughter, Melissa Steele, and four great grandchildren, Jax, Jake, Paityn and Austin Steele.
