Brother, James (Buddy) and wife, Peggy Webb of Grafton, Ohio. Caring niece, Peggy (Gary) Bone and a host of loving nieces and nephews. Unwavering faith in the Lord even through the death of her beloved daughter she held to the belief that God had a plan and it was not for her to question. Nancy won’t be celebrating in heaven alone, she’ll be greeted at Heavens gates by her daughter, Gina Kay Jarrell, parents, Quincy Webb and Ruth Webb Clay. Stepfather. Lacy Clay. Brothers, Thomas and Teddy, nephews: Scoot Webb, Russell and David Cox and nieces, Marsha Adkins and Lisa Webb. Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon November 4, 2023, at two o’clock in the Naoma Freewill Baptist Church, Naoma, WV with Pastor Larry Kinder officiating.

Don’t grieve for me – by Thresiamma Abraham

Don’t grieve for me, for I’m free
I’m following the path God laid for me
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I’ve found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy,
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow,
My life’s been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your hearts and share with me,
God wanted me now, He has set me free.
