Nancy Ann (Williams) Marshall

Nancy Ann Marshall, 91, of Cheshire, Ohio passed away Sunday, January 19, 2025, at Holzer Medical Center, Gallipolis, Ohio. Born January 18, 1934, in Gallipolis, she was the daughter of the late Dowie and Bonnie (Glover) Williams.

Nancy grew up in a little house overlooking the Ohio River in Chambersburg. Her family's roots run deep in that part of the county, extending at least five generations before her. She deeply loved that little community and counted those neighbors as family all her life. She loved to travel and spend time with family and friends, many of whom she joined for weekly lunches at the Meigs County Senior Citizens Center. In her older years, she was affectionately known as "Aunt Nancy" to many in the community. You never knew what to expect when expecting a visit from Aunt Nancy, but you could be sure it would be entertaining. Her infectious smile and quick wit were a welcome distraction to mundane days. Her infamous parting advice, "Enjoy life, but do it legally, dear" never failed to evoke a chuckle. She was strong and stubborn, funny and sometimes shocking, and she will be deeply missed.

She is survived by her sons, Michael Ervin, Unionville Center, Ohio and Vernon Dale Ervin, Springfield, Ohio; grandchildren: Shad, Shanon and Shaun Ervin; fifteen great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren as well as several nieces, nephews, extended family members and many special friends.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a grandson, Shane Ervin, sisters, June Brumfield, Helen Rollins, Mary Ours and infant brother, Jimmy Williams.

Funeral services will be conducted at 12:00 Noon Friday, January 24, 2025, in the Providence Missionary Baptist Church, Crown City, Ohio. Family and Friends may visit at the church Friday, 11:00 AM to 12:00 Noon service time. Arrangements are under the direction of the McCoy-Moore Funeral Home, Wetherholt Chapel, Gallipolis, Ohio, who is honored to serve the Marshall Family.

Pall bearers for Nancy's service include Michael Ervin, Shad Ervin, Shanon Ervin, Shaun Ervin, Dylan Nunn, Chris Barnes, Nicholas Barnes and David Belville.
