Mary Lloydene Nance was born November 13, 1948, in Shattuck, Oklahoma, and joined the Lord in her heavenly home on December 12, 2014, in Ringwood, Oklahoma. She was the daughter of Francis and Mary Boone Wallace.
She married her perfect match, Larry Nance, on January 24, 1970, in Alva, Oklahoma. They raised their family in Sweetwater, Central-Marlow and Ringwood, Oklahoma. Lloydene was a member of First Baptist Church of Ringwood, where she cared for children in the nursery, taught Vacation Bible School and shared her love for the Lord with those around her. She retired from Ringwood Elementary School in 2012 after molding and loving on students for 32 years.
Lloydene cherished her family and friends. She enjoyed vacationing with her husband, shopping with her daughters, supporting her grandchildren, reading a good book, and spending time drinking a coke with a best friend. She could get rid of the deepest stain, sew up any project, cook the best birthday meal, and laugh with you until you cried. She had a special gift of kindness that always made others feel welcome.
