Nancy embodied loyalty, steadfast principles, honor, and abiding love to so many of us whom she touched in her amazing life. Well done thy good and faithful servant. Deepest condolences to her much beloved family and our Zeta sisterhood to which she gave her all.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Nancy Jo. I too shared the Zeta Experience with her at Brenau and she was one of our feisty sisters. She always had a smile on her face, was full of pep, and always eager to help. Although I live in Indiana, where Zeta Tau Alpha National Headquarters are located, I have not seen Nancy Jo in many years but have been kept informed of all her devotion to Zeta which is so admirable. She will be greatly missed, a void in our Omicron Chapter.
May she rest in peace.

Thinking of the family. Nancy's Dad was my mama's first cousin and we lived next door to her grandfather Floyd.

Nancy Jo and I shared the Zeta experience at Brenau. She embodied the spirit and all the right attitudes of those days and in her life in general. She was the go-to person and cheerleader for everyone who knew her. She honored a commitment of deep friendship that has transcended time and distances. She leaves a
very large void and will be terribly missed.
My sincere condolences to her family of whom she was very proud. Micky Purcell Clippard

My thoughts & prayers are with the family during this very difficult time. Nancy was such a special person! She meant so much to so many. When Bonnie called with the news, we were heartbroken. My grandmother (Lois Floyd Shirley) was Nancy's Aunt. From the day I was born, Bonnie & Nancy have always been a part of our lives! She was LOVED & will be deeply missed.

Noel, I am so sorry about your mother. I was thinking about the field trip she planned for us to the farm at Fork Shoals. She was always so helpful to me. I know you will cherish the sweet memories of your mom.
God Bless!
