Nannie was born to Wallace Rutledge and Mary Thomasson Wood on May 25, 1892, in Dilley, Texas. She was sister to Rena Lee, Helen Rutledge, Mattie Florence, Susie Aileen, Clarence Nelson, Blanche Erma and Claude Wallace Wood. In her early years, her parents were the owner of Wood Hotel in Dilley, Frio Co., Texas, and later her father was a farmer in Frio County, Texas.
She met her future husband, Uhlan Agee Bryan, when he became a boarder in her parents' home, and married him on September 10, 1910. They had the following children: Vance Wood, Mary Evelyn, Susie May, Betty Lou, U. A., and another child that lived only a few hours.
In the early years of their marriage, Nannie and Uhlan lived in San Antonio, Kerrville, Dilley, all in Texas, and possibly several other locations. Her husband was a carpenter, and in his later years, was a clerk at the Dilley Post Office.
She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother and a devout Baptist. As long as she lived in her own home, she had both vegetable and flower gardens, canning and perserving what she grew. She was able to make clothes without using a pattern, and also loved to crochet and often had a quilt on her quilting frame.
Nannie was heard to remark that when she was growing up her mother would often have her walk with books balanced on her head, and she was cautioned to always sit straight without touching the back of the seat. As a result she had excellent posture.
After her husband passed away, her grandchildren took turns staying with her at night. She later lived with several of her children at different times. She then was in a nursing home in San Antonio, then in Dilley, Texas.
She passed away in Dilley, Texas on March 2, 1982, at age 89.
