She married Roy Wheaton Cole Jr. on December 25, 1936. Roy had recently graduated from West Point and was stationed at Ft. Bliss, TX, with the First Calvary Division.
Nancy and her children lived all over the world as they followed Roy in his military career. She joined her husband in fox hunting, competing in equestrian competitions, being entertained by Swedish royalty and taking cooking lessons from Julia Child. She loved skeet shooting into her 80's. She was a gourmet cook and entertained her friends and family until shortly before she died.
She left Santa Fe and joined her son in Spartanburg in 2005. She was 89 and it only took weeks before she found her way around Spartanburg and enrolled in art and sculpting classes. She flourished as an artist and in her late 90's she became somewhat of a legend!
Nancy's beloved daughter, died in 2000.
She brought joy and laughter to all that met her. Life was not always easy for Nancy but she was an “event” and showed up at the party of life everyday with anticipation of “what's next.”
A Celebration of her life will be held at St. Christopher's Episcopal Church at 10:00 am, Thursday, October 8, 2015.
A reception will follow in the Fellowship Hall.
