She was born in Fairmont, West Virginia, on December 20, 1925, the daughter of Sardie Brant Welch and Mary Kathryn {Howard} Welch. Before moving here in 1976, she had lived in Ft. Lauderdale, New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Miami. While here she helped start Skinner’s Fried Chicken, and later worked at the Registrar’s Office at FSU and Richards Luggage. Nanny’ was a fan of anything West Virginia. She supported any underdog and was the bane of all ‘over’ dogs. Anyone who experienced her biting wit and brutally frank comments won’t forget her. She most enjoyed watching the ‘kids’ grow up in our four generations home. Nancy was preceded in death by her son, John Louis; twin daughters, Penelope Sue and Patricia Lou; and her only sibling, Sardie Brant Welch, Jr. She is survived by sons, George (Tricia) and Thomas (Becca), daughter Deborah Lefebre, 8 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild; her sister-in-law, Beverly Welch; and her special cousin Edward Andre. A special thanks to Big Bend Hospice. Family and friends will share funny stories on Saturday afternoon November 17, 2018 at the family residence.
