Nancy Louise McClelland was born June 14, 1939 in Girard, Kansas, the daughter of William Phillip McClelland and Mary Ellen (Cunningham) McClelland. She graduated from Wichita North High School in 1957. Nancy was united in marriage with Stewart C. Cummins on January 17, 1959 and they made their home in Leon, Kansas.
Nancy was a homemaker when her children were young. When her children were all in school, she entered the workforce and was employed by the Quick Trip Corporation, the Kansas Children's Service League and finally Sands Level and Tool. In 1983 Nancy, Stewart and their youngest son Loren moved to Neodesha when Sands Level and Tool transferred all Wichita operations to Neodesha. Nancy was the payroll manager and typical "Girl Friday" for 35 years until her retirement in 2011.
When not spending time with her family, Nancy was active as a member of the Neodesha Tree Board, the Ministerial Alliance, the Neodesha Service Center, the W. A. Rankin Library Board and the Beta Sigma Phi, Alpha Mu Master Chapter. Nancy enjoyed sewing, especially cross stitch. She was a veracious reader and loved mysteries, historical fiction and biographies. She kept her mind sharp by completing as many crosswords as possible and she never missed an episode of Jeopardy. She enjoyed baseball and could quote stats for many players and teams, past and present.
Nancy is survived by two sons; Phillip Cummins and wife Beth of Goddard, Kansas and Loren Cummins and wife Karen of Nixa, Missouri; three daughters; Beth White and husband Mark of Wichita, Kansas, Sara Puetz and husband Mitch of Andale, Kansas and April Booth and husband Jeffery of Neodesha, Kansas; brother-in-law Wes Cummins and wife Joyce of Boise, Idaho and sister-in-law Mona Mozingo and husband Ron of Winfield, Kansas, 17 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren.
Nancy is preceded in death by her beloved husband Stewart, parents, brother Phillip McClelland, sister Mary Ruth Merritt, one great-granddaughter and one great grandson. Memorials can be sent in Nancy's name to the Beta Sigma Phi, Alpha Mu Master Chapter, care of Mina Olson or the W. A. Rankin Library, Neodesha, Kansas.
