Keokuk, Iowa. She was raised by her mother Beulah and step-dad James Carter, of Quincy

Quincy and they had two sons, Brian and Curtis. She later married Lewis E. Nasci and they
had a daughter Tanya. She lived in Albuquerque New Mexico for many years and then
moved to Carthage for 34 years and had worked at First Community Bank from 1990 until
retirement in 2012. Nancy was an accomplished artist in drawing and sketching and was of
the Christian faith.
Nancy lived a life filled with love, devotion and grace, always putting her family first and
leaving behind a legacy of warmth and kindness that will forever be cherished.
Nancy had a way of saying exactly what was on her mind, and a blunt sense of humor that
always made us laugh –honest and direct, but never unkind.
Each Christmas we looked forward to the beautiful, hand-drawn paintings she gifted us, a
reflection of her creativity and love.
Nancy is survived by her children, Brian (Karen) Hudson and Curtis (Carmen) Hudson, both
of Albuquerque NM and Tanya (Nathan) Reid of Carthage; grandchildren, Jamin Back, Angel
