Laveoada Nance

Funeral services for Appie Laveoada “Vada” Nance, age 64, were held July 13, 2015 at Scott Funeral Chapel in Saint Jo with C.E. Cole officiating. Burial followed in McGrady Cemetery.
Ms. Nance died Thursday July 9, 2015 in Denton, Texas.
Vada was the daughter of T.S. Cable, Jr. and Ola Faye Posey Cable. She was born on October 16, 1950 in Nocona, Texas. She was the granddaughter of Tom and Belle McGrady Cable.
She grew on Clear Creek and attended school in Saint Jo, graduating in 1969.
      She married Herbert Dale Nance and they had two sons, Bryan and Chad.
While living in Saint Jo she had a daycare in her home. After moving to Gainesville, she worked at Osborne's Farm Supply for 33 plus years, making lifelong friends. Some of those are here today.
Vada loved family get-togethers, especially when the dominoes came out for a game of 42.
She enjoyed her kids, especially her grandchildren. Her nieces always said “Call Aunt Vada. She'll know what to do.” She had great problem solving skills.
Among Vada's many interests were a love for camping and fishing. Her sons remember the fun trips to the "upper lake" to catch the big one. She also loved helping friends with parties and celebrations. She had a knack for decorating and preparing party foods. Going to the Casino with her friend Gary Droll would always be a fun time.
Friends and family will remember fondly time spent with Vada. She will be missed.
Vada is survived by her sons: Bryan and wife Heather Nance of Valley View and Chad Nance of Valley View; sisters: Lina Jo Flusche of Saint Jo and Stella Manion and husband Kevin of New Orleans, LA; and sister-in-law Karon Burk of Albuquerque, NM; eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, her parents, and her brother, Jerry Burk.
Pallbearers were: Colton Nance, grandson, James King, Randy Voyles, Mat Edington, Chris Buck, and Jason Weaver.
