Nancy Sue "Nana" Barton, passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by family on February 26, 2025, at the age of 73. Born on April 4, 1951, in Dallas, Texas, Nancy's life was marked by dedication, kindness, and an unwavering commitment to those around her.

In addition to her professional and volunteer work, Nancy enjoyed a rich tapestry of hobbies and interests. She loved traveling, playing golf, and cooking for her family and friends. Time spent with her granddaughters, Miss B and Gracie, brought her immense joy, as did the hours she devoted to working in her yard and tending to her flower beds.  Nancy loved animals and took great pride and dedication with providing her dogs and cats a home, attention and unconditional love.
