November 30, 1956 – April 9, 2025

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Nancye Regina Meyers of Palm Bay, FL, who entered eternal rest on April 9, 2025, at the age of 68. Surrounded by the love of her family and friends during her final days, Nancye’s peaceful transition reflected the deep bonds she nurtured throughout her life. That same love will carry her memory and legacy forward in our hearts.

Nancye is lovingly remembered by her devoted husband and soulmate of 50 years, William (Bill) Meyers III; her son, William (Billy) Meyers IV, and his wife Nicole; her grandson, Noah Meyers, and his fiancée Emily; and her cherished pets - Beau, the king of the house, and Babygirl, the queen of the house. She is also survived by her siblings: Daniel Lynch (Jill), Janis Mullaney, Richard Lynch (Pamela), Timothy Lynch (Sandra), and Kelli Lynch; mother-in-law, Rosalie Van Houten; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law: Ramona Van Hoff (Jim), Skip Meyers, Peggy Stultz (Bob), Andrea Frye (Mike), Ja’Nice Heredia (Frank), Matthew Fierst, and many nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends who will all miss her tremendously.

Nancye is preceded in death by her parents, John (Jack) and Elizabeth (Betsy) Lynch; sisters, Christine Nixon and Diana Fierst; and brothers-in-law, Theodore Nixon Jr. and David Mullaney; and members of her beloved family through marriage, including William Meyers II, Maureen Meyers, and Ernest (Van) Henry Van Houten. What an amazing reunion and joyful welcoming to eternal life that must have been—filled with love and jubilation.

Born on November 30, 1956, at Columbia Hospital in Washington, D.C., Nancye was the fifth of eight children in a lively, loving Catholic family and spent her childhood in Annandale, VA. Her upbringing, surrounded by the warmth of her close-knit family and siblings, shaped Nancye into a remarkably adaptable, patient, loving woman with strong social skills. She was deeply committed to fostering loyalty, support, and togetherness in everything she did. Whether through her actions, her words, or her loving presence, Nancye made sure that her family and friends always knew they could count on her. She had the innate ability to nurture and provide calmness and peace in any situation, creating a sense of security and warmth to all. Nancye never missed a moment to show how much she loved you—whether through a card for every special occasion, a thoughtful gesture, or one of her warm, unforgettable hugs.

Nancye lived with a quiet strength, always putting others first, and her sense of community extended far beyond her family. In every aspect of her life, Nancye fostered deep, lasting connections. She was so proud to be a loving wife, mother, nana, sister/sister-in-law, daughter/daughter-in-law, aunt, great aunt, and friend, but above all Nancye cherished the unbreakable bond she shared with her husband, Bill; son, Billy; and grandson Noah.

Nancye met the love of her life and soul mate, Bill, in 1972 at a party hosted by friends, and from that moment on, they were inseparable. They married on December 4, 1974, and proudly celebrated 50 years of marriage, best friendship, unconditional love, and a bond that only grew stronger through time. Nancye was a proud military spouse for the first few years of marriage and then became an overjoyed mother to Billy, the light of her and Bill’s life, in 1976. In 1984, Nancye, Bill, and Billy moved from Annandale VA to warm, tropical weather in Palm Bay, FL, where they built a life together filled with love, laughter, and countless cherished memories. Palm Bay became home, and Nancye’s warmth and generosity quickly made it a place of comfort for many meaningful friendships and strong family bonds.

Nancye had a proud career where she was able to showcase her skills of organization, planning, and creativity. She began her professional journey at Memco in Annandale, VA, and concluded in January 2019 at Harris Corporation in Melbourne, FL after 35 years of dedicated service as a Market Researcher and Trade Show Coordinator. Nancye truly loved her job and was very thankful for the opportunities to use her talents, travel, and make friends that became a work family. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and grace under pressure left a lasting impression on all who worked with her.

Nancye also had a deep love for nature, animals, and gardening. Whether it was the serene beauty of the North Carolina mountains, the humbling mystery and power of the ocean, or the culture and history of Key West, Florida, she found peace and splendor in the natural world. She admired every bird’s unique marking, was committed to conservation efforts for endangered species and the earth and spoiled every pet as a beloved family member. She approached gardening with a tender attention to detail—always nurturing, always patient. Nancye’s gardens bloomed with the same care and love she gave to the people in her life. Her deep appreciation for nature was reflected in every flower she planted and every sunset she paused to admire. She embraced life’s simple, quiet joys with a reverence that inspired those around her. Every bird’s chirp and every new blossom will now hold a deeper meaning for us all, serving as gentle reminders of the beauty she saw and shared so freely.

Her exceptional organization and planning skills were not just practical talents, but expressions of her care and thoughtfulness. Whether she was helping a loved one through a difficult time, coordinating family gatherings, or simply offering a listening ear, Nancye did so with grace, love, and an open heart. Nancye’s life was a testament to boundless compassion, nurturing spirit, calming presence, and admirable patience—qualities that touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. We will tremendously miss her special cards with underlined words, her picture taking on every occasion, her infectious laugh, and her epic hugs more than words can express, but her spirit lives on in the countless lives she uplifted.

During a very special, humble, and touching conversation in her final earthly days, Nancye was asked what she hoped her legacy would be. With quiet sincerity, she said, “Mom always taught us to treat others the way we wanted to be treated. I think that is where my kindness came from, and I think I instilled that in my family and others as well.”

There is no doubt that Nancye’s legacy is one of pure, genuine kindness—lived out in every interaction, every act of care, and every connection she nurtured. Rest in peace, dear Nancye. You will never be forgotten. We will carry your love in our hearts and honor you always by living the golden rule you cherished.

The family wishes to extend a special thank you to William Childs Hospice House – Health First, for their gentle care and guidance through Nancye’s transition. The family will receive loved ones at a later to be determined date for a Celebration of Life.
