Shirley Nance
Shirley Ann Nance, 69, of Memphis, formerly of Blytheville, went to be with her heavenly father Nov. 1, 2011, at Trinity Hospice House in Collierville, Tenn., after a year-long battle with breast cancer. Shirley was born Jan. 27, 1942, to the late Robert and Thelma Ray in St. Louis. She was of the Pentecostal Faith and her strong faith in God had brought her through many valleys and dark times in her life. Her love for God, family and friends was the cornerstone of her life that kept her going even when she didn't feel like she could take that next step. Shirley was employed by Lansky Bros. at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis where she worked for ten years as Assistant Manager of the Lucky Duck Gift Shop.
