With profound sadness, the family of Nancy Lea White, 58, announces her unexpected and untimely passing at home, in Lancaster PA on August 23 2018.
Nancy was the daughter of Ann Conway of Norfolk, VA and the late James Florence, retired USN.
Nancy was born in Port Hueneme, CA. As part of a military family, she spent her youth in various locations around the country, and graduated from Maury High School in Norfolk VA.
Nancy had a genuine heart for serving. After high school, she became a nursing assistant and had a special affinity for caring for the elderly. Nancy then spent her years caring for her family, in a way that only she could. Nancy’s children were the most important thing to her; she was so proud of them. They were her Mt. Rushmore. She was their #1 fan of everything they did.
Several years ago, Nancy donated a kidney to a member of her church family who was in need. Her selfless gift allowed that family to have many more cherished years together.
Nancy’s greatest joy was the time she spent with her grandchildren. She had an undeniable relationship and bond with each of them that will never be replaced.
Nancy is survived by her husband Ken, mother Ann, sisters Susan, Patty, Laurie, and Cindy, daughters Rebecca and LeaAnna, sons Donnie and John, their spouses and significant others, and grandchildren Tyler, Carter, Donovan, Maya, Naomi, Cadyn, and Micah.
Nancy is now at peace. There is no more pain and suffering. She is with the angels now.
A time of remembrance for Nancy will be scheduled in the future.
If desired, contributions can be made to the Four Diamonds Fund to combat pediatric cancer, through the Penn State Health/Hershey Medical Center (childrens.pennstatehealth.org/give).
The family requests that in Nancy’s memory we do the following:
• Hug your loved ones today. We never know what tomorrow might bring.
• Keep your eyes open for the best in people; you’ll always find something there.
• Don’t give up; don’t ever give up.

Nancy was a lot of fun growing up, playing softball, becoming a life guard in the summer time and making her way into a caring field of helping people. Raised by a beautiful Christian family with lots of mentors. RIP Nancy,.

She was my sister, my friend. We shared good times together and the not so good. I would give anything to have those moments again. She left a hole that can only be filled by her. My prayer is that God will help heal our hearts and dry our tears.
Love,
Cindy

I am deeply sorry for your family’s loss of Nancy. May you find comfort in God’s promise to restore our dear loved ones to perfect life on a paradise earth as recorded in Revelation 21:4 and Psalm 37:9,10. As we await the fulfillment of that promise we have the grand privilege of prayer, and if we draw close to God in prayer he will draw close to us and provide the needed strength to carry us through the difficult days ahead. (James 4:8) All the best wishes for your family at this time, take care of each other.
