Nancy Louise Ellis was a beloved grandmother, mother, and wife during her incredible 87 years of life.
She passed away peacefully in the late evening hours of Tuesday, May 16, 2023.
Nancy is survived by her son Jimmy Lee Ellis, former daughter-in-law Gigi, four grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. John (wife Juli, son Chandler); Leslie, (son Chandler); Kristen; and Nathan (wife Sara, children Adeline and August), and an extended family of friends and relatives too numerous to list but not forgotten.

Nancy’s love for her family was unmatched, she doted on us, giving haircuts in the kitchen, sneaking snacks to her grandkids hiding under the table and making sure we all had a hot home-cooked meal when we arrived to visit no matter what time of day it was.
