In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband four weeks ago, Bobby Wake Doub; two sisters, Mary Frances Carmichael and her husband T.W. and Marjorie Sellars and her husband Eric; and her brother, Lawrence Shamel. Nancy is survived by two daughters, Jane Doub and Kathy Doub; a son, Wake Doub (Elizabeth); her granddaughter and the light of her life, Hayden Elizabeth Doub. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews and extended family.
