A visitation will be held Monday, March 9, 2026 from 5:00PM until 7:00PM at Coleman Funeral Home of Oxford (601 Commerce Parkway, Oxford, MS, 38655). A funeral service will be held Tuesday, March 10, 2026 at 12:00PM in the chapel of Coleman Funeral Home, with a visitation an hour prior to the service. Nancy was born on January 12, 1961 in Water Valley, Mississippi to the late William, and Ruthie McClain Pierce. Her life was a tapestry woven with simple joys and acts of love that brightened the world around her. For 22 years, she was a dedicated associate at Walmart, where her hard work and friendly smile left a lasting impression on colleagues and customers alike. The relationships she built there were a testament to her loyalty and caring nature. Nancy found delight in the everyday moments, especially those spent watching her favorite shopping channel or getting cozy with any and all Hallmark movies. These little pleasures brought her comfort and joy, and she shared them freely with those she loved. A devoted animal lover, Nancy’s home was always filled with the gentle presence of her cherished dogs and cats. She cared for her animals with the same boundless affection she extended to friends, neighbors, and even strangers. Her love for all kinds of flowers was evident, and the vibrant colors and fragrant blooms reflected her cheerful spirit. Nancy was known for her selflessness and compassion. She was the first to offer a helping hand or a listening ear, and her generosity knew no bounds. Whether it was a friend in need or a stranger passing through, Nancy’s door—and her heart—were always open. Above all, Nancy treasured time with her family. Her greatest joy came from being surrounded by those she held dear, and she made every gathering special with her warmth and laughter. Nancy’s legacy is one of love, service, and simple pleasures. She will be deeply missed, but her memory will continue to blossom in the hearts of all who knew her. She is survived by her loving husband, Charles Bryan of Water Valley, MS; her three step-sons, Robert Bryan of Byhalia, MS, Adam Bryan of Oxford, MS, and Evan Bryan (Kelsey) of Oxford; her sister, Bell Pierce of Oxford; her brother Randy Pierce of Oxford; her two sister-in-law’s, Lisa Berryhill (Mark) of Oxford, and Kathy Short of Water Valley; and her three brother-in-law’s, Ronnie Bryan (Tina) of Oxford, Terry Bryan (Myra) of Abbeville, MS, and Bubba Bryan of Oxford. Nancy is preceded in death by her parents, William and Ruthie McClain Pierce. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any donations or memorials in honor of Nancy be made to The American Cancer Society (https://donate.cancer.org). The staff at Coleman Funeral Home of Oxford is honored to serve the family during this challenging season of life.
