Elaine Akers Nance went to be with our heavenly father on Tuesday, April 16th, 2024. She was preceded in death by her husband and the love of her life Ralph Elbert Nance, Jr., and her daughter Linda Nance Worrell. She is survived by her daughters Kathleen and Theresa Nance, her son Mark Nance (Kim), grandchildren Keith Bosher (Nancy) and Mark Alan Nance, and great grandchildren Keith Bosher (Hannah) and Melinda Bosher.
Elaine graduated Washington Lee High School in 1951. She went on to obtain her Nursing Degree from Johnston Willis and graduated as a Registered Nurse in 1955. She had a long nursing career at Petersburg General Hospital and Colonial Heights Convalescent Center. She was a long-time member of Washington Street United Methodist Church and loved her church family.
She was our family’s rock and glue that kept us all encouraged and lifted up. She absolutely adored her family and we adored her. Her heart’s desire was to just be together any chance she could. She never said no to an outing, a walk, a reason to share a meal, or go on an adventure!
Elaine enjoyed life, found the positive side and view in everything and in everyone. She hoped big and loved even bigger! There is no replacement and we will carry her on with us from this day forward striving to be more like her. We are so grateful for the time she got to be with us, even though for us it was not long enough. We are comforted to know she will be watching over each of us, praying over us, and that we will meet again. Rest in peace and love our precious angel. We will love you forever GinGin.
