Nancy was born on November 24, 1956 a daughter of the late Paul Leonard and Edith Grace Smith Miller. She was the wife of the late Jacob Willard Purvis, Sr.  Over the years Nancy worked countless jobs to support her children; sometimes multiple jobs at one time from Highs, Johnson’s grocery, Automotive, waitressing and most recently retiring from Ferguson Enterprise in Front Royal, VA. She was a kind soul and willing to help anyone in need; often making donations in complete anonymity.  Nancy would light up a room, she was known to be the life of the party and lived by the motto “Whatever.” She used it often and it had many definitions. She loved music, dancing, floating the river, cooking, and hosting large family gatherings. She also enjoyed attending blue grass festivals with her late husband and friends. Nancy was a member of The Strasburg Moose Lodge, The Strasburg Eagles and The Shenandoah American Legion Ladies Auxiliary.

In addition to her husband and parents she was preceded in death by a brother Thomas “Jeff” Miller.

Survivors include her three children, Michele (Jamie), Shawn (Shannon) and Derrick (Misty) Pittington; eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren along with her three brothers Wayne (Ellen), Doug (Joy) and John (Vicky) Miller.

The family asks that expressions of sympathy be in the form of memorial contributions to Blue Ridge Hospice, 333 W. Cork Street, Winchester, VA 22601.
