We lived on the other side of the state, sometimes seemed like the other side of the world but when we were fortunate enough to see Aunt Nancy and her family it seemed like we lived next door. Her devotion to her family and everyone related was never faultering and I loved her for all she gave to me and my family. Aunt Nancy touched everyone she ever met and will be sorely missed. My love to Patty, Bobby, Sue-Ellen, Johnny and Missy. With much love and heartfelt sympathy.

Our Aunt Nancy lit up every room she was ever in with LOVE. Working in a hospital room or relaxing at home, she was the one who displayed love at all times. Her smile was endless, her ability to show you her love was never questioned and more than anything -she LOVED her family, especially her children. I was lucky to be her nephew and even luckier that she treated me like her son. She will be greatly missed but her Love will be forever cherished.

Patty, Missy, Sue-Ellen and family,

I was so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. She was a great lady and I remember her fondly. I remember going to your house with your Aunt Emma and my grandmother Edna Smith. I remember all of you well from school and girl scouts as well. I have just recently moved out of the area but even after being gone for 22 years I still remembered the house well.

My prayers and love are with all of you at this time.

Love,

Bonnie

Nanny was a very caring and thoughtful women. I never really got the chance to know her as well as I would have liked, but the time I did spend with her will be in my heart forever. The thing I will remember the most about her is how she would do anything for anybody who she crossed paths with. Nanny, you will be in our hearts and prayers forever.

A fine lady and I am very sorry to hear that Nancy has passed away. She was a little girl when I was in high school, but she came from a nice family and I know (her siblings) them all. My sympathy to all of Nancy's family.

Nancy Parks was my Aunt and was instrumental with raising me and my brother and 2 sisters when we lived immediately next door to her on Elm Street in North Attleboro in the 1960s and 1970s. Even with 6 children of her own, she had love and guidance to direct toward us during a period in our lives when our family was dealing with extraordinary adversity. I will remember her laughter, her upbeat and positive outlook on life, and her strength of character. She will be missed by all who spent more than 5 minutes with her.
