Nancy Roberts Shrum

She was born November 27, 1931, in Charlotte, NC, the daughter of the late Frank and Hazel Roberts. She was preceded in death by her husband of 55 years, Weldon Shrum and her brothers, Boyce Roberts and Frank Roberts. Mrs. Shrum was a graduate of Harding High School class of 1950. She also attended Queens College. She developed life-long friendships with many of her high school and college friends.

She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and aunt, and her greatest joy was spending time with her family who she loved so much. Her love and guidance will be greatly missed. Her faith in our Lord and the ways in which she valued and cared for others will provide lasting memories and serve as powerful examples to all of us.

The family would like to especially thank her wonderful caregivers, Mary, Nina, Rachel, Melissa, and others who loved and cared for her as well as her nurse Cecy.
