Bruce, Nancy D., in the presence of her family, completed her journey here on Earth on August 23rd, 2009, and is now in her everlasting home in Heaven, where she is surrounded by those who arrived there before her. She was met in Heaven by her father, Gaines Donithan; her mother, Lizzie Carpenter Donithan; and her brothers, Bob, Floyd, and Bill Donithan, as well as her many lifelong friends who have passed before her. She leaves behind her husband of over 60 years, Ralph Coolidge Bruce; her children, H. Wayne Bruce (Rosemary), B. Lynn Morano (Dave), and Anne Campbell; her grandchildren, Amanda Morano, Kelsey Stewart, Lisa Simon, and Christopher Campbell; her two step-grandchildren, Michael Campbell and Heather O’Connell; and her great-grandchild, Nadia Stewart. She also has one sister, Nellie Riggins. During her journey on Earth, Nancy was an active member of Walmsley Blvd. United Methodist Church for well over 50 years. She loved to travel on bus tours, was an avid reader, and participated in many walkathons for the March of Dimes. But most of all, her family, friends, and faith were everything to her. The family will receive friends from 2 to 4 pm and 6 to 8 pm Tuesday at the Morrissett Funeral Home, 6500 Iron Bridge Rd. (Rt. 10).
