d the love of her life, her high school sweetheart, Steve. 3 years later the newlywed Lacks welcomed their daughter, Adria, into the world. Adria got to enjoy the only child life for 22 months and that time all three of the Lacks welcomed the arrival of Adam. The Lacks moved from Pearl, Mississippi to Port Arthur, Texas. After a brief stint in Texas the Lacks moved back to Mississippi and settled in Laurel, where they made their hometown for more that 25 yrs. 


During her time in Laurel, Nancy enjoyed the more than full time job of a mom. Nancy spent most of her time caring for Adria, Adam and Steve. Once the kids got into high school, Nancy decided to go to work. She spent 3 yrs working tirelessly for the Pine Belt chapter of the Gulf Pines Girl Scout Council until she started to have serious health issues. 


In December of 2000 Nancy had one of her dreams came true, she finally could be called "Nanny." Her first grandchild, Taylor Ree (Adria's) was born. As her illness progressed so did her family and her faith. In July of 2004 she became a grandmother again with the birth of Joshua (Adria's) and for the third time in June of 2006 as Evan (Adria's) arrived. In may of 2009 she was blessed again with the arrival of her fourth grandchild, Harper (Adam's) and little miss Scarlet Grace (Adam's) followed just 2yrs later  in May 2011. Whitney, J and Julia joined the list when Adria married their father Shannon. 


Nancy's life was filled with ups and downs but her faith in her savior stood steadfast. She met every challenge that life threw at her with a smile and the unwavering confidence that God was in control at all times. Nancy loved in life  as hard as she fought. But fortunately for her, her fight is over and she is now in her new body, clothed in her robe of righteousness, kneeling at the feet of Jesus!
