Nancy was born July 1, 1953, in Gadsden, AL, she was a shining light in the lives of all who knew her. Nancy's loving and selfless nature brought joy and comfort to those around her, and her generosity knew no bounds.

Nancy dedicated 35 years of her life to Tom's Foods, where she was known for her strong work ethic and unwavering commitment.

Aside from her professional accomplishments, Nancy was a pillar of her community, volunteering with Pioneer Little League from 1992 until her passing. Her dedication to the organization was evident in the countless hours she spent first, as a team mom, keeping score, and cheering from the sidelines and later, running a tight ship in the concession stand! Nancy's passion for helping the families of Pioneer will forever be a part of her amazing legacy.

In her personal life, Nancy's love for her family was unmatched. She took great pride in her children and grandchildren, and where you found one, you often found several others! Spending time with her family was paramount- whether shopping, watching scary movies or hosting “cousins’ sleepovers,” Nancy was a haven for her loved ones.

It wasn’t just the human members of her family, however, who were important to Nancy. A special place in her heart belonged to her cats, Casanova, who preceded her in death, and Tiger. Affectionately known as “Stinky” and “Squeaky” her cats’ companionship brought her immense joy and comfort throughout the years.

Nancy's generous, loving, and selfless nature touched the lives of everyone she met, and her memory will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her. While Nancy will be sorely missed, her love, kindness, and generosity will never be forgotten.

Nancy is survived by her devoted husband of nearly 43 years, Rick Chadwick; her four adoring children, Larry (Tina) Chadwick, Michelle (Kelby) Huff, Kristi (Linx) Leisner, and Blake Chadwick; and her thirteen cherished grandchildren, Nikki, Ricky, LaTavia, Jada, Ashanti, Aaron, Elijah, Trace, Jeremiah, Abbi, Shelby, Kallen, and Tinnley. She is also survived by her dear brother, Larry (Kathy) Croxton, as well as many nieces, nephews and countless friends.
