Ms. Nancy was a coworker, friend and more importantly became part of my family . She will always be remembered for her sense of humor and that infectious laugh. She loved her students and there families as if they were her own. She would look in the mirror at work and say just beautiful just beautiful and then just die laughing. So my beautiful friend this isn't goodbye this is just until we meet again ! Love always Tabby
I am so shocked and saddened to hear of "Ms. Nancy's" passing. She was the bus assistant for both my grandson and granddaughter at Simkins and then we were blessed to get her back for my granddaughter at Southeast. She and Tabitha really looked after our kids. She was a sweetheart. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Leta Wright, Ari and Corey
My sincere condolences to the family of Nancy Adger. It was such a pleasure to have had the opportunity to know her during my visits in Greensboro. Such a beautiful-spirited lady inside and out.
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. GOD Bless each of you!

I meant Miss Nancy over a year and a half ago, we became friends from the moment we said hello. We meet at South East High School, every evening she would come into the building and she would wait for me or I'll wait for her. We would talk and laugh about everything and anything.I got to talk to my friend last week we talked about everything and anything at the end of our conversation she told me if I don't answer your call I'll call you back,I called her back I didn't hear from Miss Nancy but her sister called me back, my friend kept her promise.I'm going to miss you rest in peace my friend.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
