While living in Maryland 1958 – 1971, Nancy was employed as part of the administrative staff at the University of Maryland’s Fire Service Extension, a training facility for fire fighters. For thirty-five years, Nancy volunteered as Treasurer of the Fork Mountain Rescue Squad, a position still held at the time of her death. In August 2018, the squad recognized her as a Lifetime Member. No person was a stranger to Nancy; she had a smile for all and shared laughter during every conversation. She loved Bluegrass and became miffed if Song of the Mountains was not aired on Saturday nights. Nancy could be spotted at many community breakfasts and attending gospel music concerts at local churches. She loved her own Fork Mountain United Methodist Church, worshiping with family and many lifelong friends. Nancy so enjoyed daily phone conversations with many, her cell phone often ringing while she was already talking on the landline or vice-versa. Until illness prevented her attendance, she did not miss monthly luncheons with members of Franklin County High School’s Class of 1955 or Stanley’s Retiree Breakfasts. A devoted mother, sister, and friend, Nancy’s fun-loving personality is not one to be easily forgotten. She always carried with her love, light, and laughter. Interment will follow in Henry Memorial Park.2 She was buried at Henry Memorial Park, 8443 Virginia Avenue, Oak Level, Henry Co., Virginia.3,2 Her married name was Holcomb.4 She married John Melvin Holcomb, son of Rev. Melvin Kermit Holcomb and Lucy Pearline Aldridge.1,2 Nancy Kirk was born on September 5, 1937.2 She died on April 19, 2019 at Virginia at age 81.2
