Nancy Lauella Sholar Pierce, age 79, of the Pin Hook Community, of Wallace passed from this life to her eternal rest on Friday, March 31, 2023 surrounded by her loving family.

She was born on January 20, 1944 in New Hanover County; the daughter of the late Herman and Norma Bond Sholar. Mrs. Pierce was also preceded in death by her loving husband of 57 years, Randle Glenn Pierce; her granddaughter Jenny Mitchell; brother Billy Ray Sholar; and sisters, Carolyn Norwood and Barbara Williams.

Mrs. Pierce was a member of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Wallace Branch.

Surviving to cherish her memory, are her daughters Sharon Mitchell (David) of Wallace, Sherry Henderson (Danny) of Wallace and Pamela Cavenaugh (Jerry Padgett) of Wallace; grandchildren, Baillie Henderson Buckley (Michael), Jessie Lee, Audrey Barnhill, Jake Barnhill, Michael Knight (Samantha) and David Mitchell, Jr. (Emma); great grandchildren, Kenley Barnhill, Kolton Barnhill, Kara Barnhill, Mikey Knight, Ryan Knight, Bryson Knight, Miranda Knight, Cameron Mitchell, Avery Mitchell and Londyn Mitchell; sister Glenda Jenkins (Billy) and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends that loved Nancy dearly.

Nancy was a devoted wife and loving mother, grandmother and sister.  She enjoyed the simplest things in life but her greatest joy was her family, especially her three daughters. She enjoyed spending "girl time" with her daughters whether it was shopping or just sitting around and talking.  Nancy was a great cook and loved to prepare meals for family and friends.  Being a diligent homemaker, she filled her home with love and welcomed all who entered.  She was a good neighbor and friend and was loved by all who knew her. Nancy will surely be missed but treasured memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
