Nancy was born Feb. 21, 1949, In Sparta, to David Lee and Treva Gene Sims Poteet.
Nancy was the embodiment of a true homemaker. Her love of flowers led her to commercially grow daylilies and allowed her to travel around the country sharing her expertise. In fact, her gorgeous garden was a stop on the 2010 National Tour. In addition, Nancy raised Boxer puppies and was a three-time show champion in that field. She was an avid Lady Vols basketball fan and a dedicated member of the Church of Christ. Above all, her greatest love was being Grandma for her family.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sisters, Mary Jane Webb and Dr. Marilyn Poteet-Langford.
