Nancy was born on January 17, 1941 in Gainesville, Texas to John and Ora Stewart Gray. She grew up in Gainesville, Texas and Fresno, California. She graduated from Fresno High School in 1959. After high school, she attended Fresno City College from 1959-1960 and later attended Tarrant County Junior College from 1976-1979, working towards an Associates Degree in Business.
Nancy began work for the Texas Jewish Post in 1984 as an office assistant where she worked for 2 years. Nancy went on to work as an administrative assistant and secretary for Cana Baptist Church and Crestmont Baptist Church in Burleson, Texas. She was secretary for 6 1/2 years in the Ranch Management Department at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth and 6 years at Highland Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, where she retired in 2012.
Nancy was highly active in church life both at Crestmont Baptist Church in Burleson as a Sunday School teacher and choir member as well as in later years at Highland Baptist in Waco where she was involved in women's ministry, singles ministry and the Celebrate Recovery ministry. Nancy loved to travel and explore and early loved taking many photographs along the way! What Nancy loved above all was her Savior Jesus and the fellowship of believers. Nancy was preceded in death by her parents, John and Ora and siblings, John Gray, Jr., Kenneth Gray, and Betty Gray Hahner.
