Nancy Slonaker was born on October 1, 1943, in Winchester, Virginia to Janie and Bob Sandy. She was the youngest of three children, her brothers Bobby and Dickey predeceased her as did her husband, Jimmy of 60 years. She is survived by her only child James “Jamie”, married to Jennifer and her two grandchildren, Zachary (21) and Nicolas (19).
Nancy was a fun loving, caring, kind and generous lady, and her biggest pride was her son Jamie. Nancy enjoyed traveling to all the places, Jamie has lived from Germany to Washington and then Arizona. Nancy worked in the banking industry for 40 years and was the branch manager at F&M bank, Stephens City branch where she greeted all her customers with her beautiful smile.
In her earlier years, Nancy was also a barrel chaser at the rodeo and was an avid equestrian. In her later years, Nancy took care of both her elderly parents at their home until they passed. She also cared for her husband after his stroke for four years. Nancy and Jimmy eventually moved out to a retirement community in Arizona in 2021 to be closer to Jamie where she enjoyed the warm weather and time with her family.
Nancy left this world to join her family in her eternal home on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, surrounded by her loved ones. We will miss her beautiful smile and caring heart that touched so many lives. May she rest in peace.
