Nancy Carolyn Apple born, July 11, 1943, in Little Rock went to be with her

heavenly father Monday, February 7, 2022.

She is preceded in death by her father Carroll R Posey, Sr. She is survived

by her mother, Nancy Christina Posey; her loving husband of 43 years, Gordon

Lee Apple; siblings, Dolores Burns (Bill) and Carroll Posey Jr. (Cindy);

daughters, Mitzi Shaw, Kimberly Mahon, Audra Pearson (Shane) of Olympia,

Washington; grandchildren Kyler Shaw, Ashley Mahon, Adrian Shaw (Terrence

Davis), Tiffany Mahon, Zayn Smith, Micah Smith, Logan Peason, Kenneth Mahon,

Lauren Pearson; 12 great grandchildren, and a host of family and friends.

She was a lifetime member of Crystal Hill Baptist Church where she was

active in The Senior Citizens, The Gleaner Sunday School Class, and the

Adult Choir where she was frequently a featured soloist and group member.

Her love for her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and her church was known by

all she encountered. Nancy never met a stranger and shared her faith at

every opportunity.

To all that knew her, Nancy's creativity was evident in her passion for

crafting, sewing, and making of mementos. She was enthusiastic about giving

her creations away and saw this as a ministry of planting in the lives of

others. Her favorite color, orange, means enthusiasm, warmth and joy. Nancy

was all of those and more.

Nancy's favorite Bible verse was Proverbs 17:17: "A friend loveth at all

times." One of her many favorite sayings was, "Put your brain in gear before

your mouth in motion." You always knew where you stood with Nancy. She had

the biggest smile, the most beautiful skin, and the best sense of humor. Her

name meant "gracious one."

She loved plants and had a green thumb. To say that Nancy broke the mold is

an understatement. There is no one like her and no one is going to be able

to take her place in her family, church, and community.
