Margaret Anne Nance

Margaret was born November 28, 1927 to Rozena and John McDaniel in San Antonio, Texas. While attending Southwest Texas State Teachers College (now Texas State University), Margaret met her future husband to be, Frank N. Nance. After graduating with their B.S. degrees, they were married December 1947. They then made a decision that changed their lives the next spring. Margaret and Frank decided to stop their pursuit of their Master’s degrees and for Frank to become part of the newly formed military branch, the U.S. Air Force.

Over the next 21 years, they lived in many exciting places including Iran, Spain, Guam, Wyoming and Washington, D.C. Due to her love of travel and the outdoors, she took part in many excursions.

Margaret volunteered for the American Association of University Women – AAUW Book Finders for over 40 years. Additionally, she volunteered for 24 years in the natural history group at CC Museum of Science and History.

She always enjoyed reading, learning new ideas and skills and sharing these with others. Margaret’ lifelong passions were travel, reading, art, volunteering, friends and family. She was a loving wife, mother, sister and friend.
