Thinking of you all, were so sorry for your loss. Love you.
When a person becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. God Bless You, Mrs. Wilcher, and comfort your loving family.
Many long ago memories surface when I remember our many years together as classmates and best friends from fifth grade at Walnut Grove Elementary School through four years at Mooresville High, cheering on the Pioneers. Even though we have lived many miles apart for years, we managed to keep in touch periodically and always picked up on our conversation as though we had been together just yesterday. Not only I, but many, will miss Nancy’s very special friendship. My sincere condolences to Elwood and the family. With love, Shirley (Laudig) Foutz
After our daughter Rebecca married Nancy’s great nephew Shane Williams, we found ourselves graciously included in the periodic gatherings of the Wilcher and Van Hoy families. Nancy, always kind and gracious, never failed to make us feel warmly welcomed and fully included, be it at her home, a church hall, a pavilion in the park, a restaurant, or the swimming hole. She always made fantastic contributions to the day’s menu as well! Nancy will be greatly missed. David and Judith

I have sweet memories of swimming lessons! My children loved her. I did too. I saw her at the Bryant home when Paul had died. Such a nice surprise to see her. Doug, Evan and Amber, she loved you so much and talked to me about you. I smile when I think of her. Jeannie Tedrow (Barker)
I am forever grateful to Nancy for teaching my kids, Danny and Julie, to swim 35 years ago.
