Nancy is survived by her husband, Wedrell Smith (Soperton, GA), two sons Jeff (Mandy) Greenway and Greg (Courtney) Greenway, 3 grandchildren, Braxton and Brayden (Jeff) and Addison (Greg) that she cherished and loved more than anything in the world.

Nancy wanted to bless everyone with a bible verse from Numbers 6: 24-27:
"May the Lord bless you and keep you. May His face shine upon you and may He be gracious unto you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace."
