Nancy Kristine Ress (née Mosora) passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Tuesday, January 17, 2023. She was born in Detroit, Michigan on March 19, 1953. She is survived by her loving husband of 41 years, Kenneth Ray Read Obituary
I enjoyed my friendship with Nancy during the many years we lived in the same neighborhood. She was a vivacious, friendly, hilarious friend. We shared many tears and so much laughter. I’m so grateful to have had lunch with her not too long ago. My heart and prayers are with her family. May she Rest in Peace with our Lord.
I knew Nancy from high school and I regularly talked to her on Facebook. I take comfort in knowing that she was a follower of Jesus and that she is in his heavenly embrace. God rest her soul.
Nancy was the first person to welcome us to the neighborhood and the thoughtful gifts and kind gestures never stopped coming. Amazing treats from her kitchen, plants from her yard, bones for the dog, friendship bread, and my favorite… crocheted breastfeeding caps for my grandbabies. When my daughter was overseas for a year she gave us a jar of 12 paper flowers - one for each month as we waited for her return. Heaven holds a special for people like Nancy. My heart is broken for you Ken, Mandy and Jan. May God grant peace to all those who love and miss her. 💔🙏
I'm sad. I'm praying for you Ken and Mandy, and Nancy. I love Nancy. I have many great memories but favorite memories include watching Nancy entertaining the boys with critters, and birds, any animal really in ya'lls front yard. That relationship that Nancy built with the boys remains so special. But for me she was a gift especially when not feeling well or her just knowing how to step in and help. I'm grateful for Nancy in my life. May God bless you with peace and knowing that you are loved.
Ken

To Ken, Mandy and Jan,
I just want to let you know how heart broken I am for the loss of Nancy. Although we had our differences I loved her and knew that eventually we would repair our friendship. Please know that you are all in my prayers.
I've been struggling to find the right words...and I just can't. So, I'll do the best I can. Ken, Mandy...and Jan...I can't remember when I've ever been as heart-broken as I am right now.
I've known Nance for so long, and I can't imagine not hearing the 'HEY, NIK!' on the other end of the line. When I had something big (or little, really) that I needed to say, she was my 'go to girl'. We shared so much over the last 47 years. She was the first one to come when I had my babies. She was the first one (and sometimes the only one) to stand up for me in any situation. She was on my side, no matter what. Just like I'd have HER back...no matter what, even though we were miles apart.
We never let each other down...and it's rare to find a friend like she was to me. We just clicked, back in 1976, and I can't imagine what my life would have been like without her in it. I can't imagine what it's going to be like without her now. I treasure the memories, but I will be sad for a long, long time. It's almost unbearable for me right now. But I will look for little signs from her, letting me know that she's still with me. And I know she is and always will be.
Though my heart is broken, I also know her heart, and I know she's with her Lord and Savior right now, waiting for the rest of us to get there.
This is hard to write, but I want you all to know how much she means to me still. I love you all, and I thank you for sharing your wife, your mother, and your sister with me.
Watch for the 'signs'...if anybody would find a way to send them, Nance will.
I'm lighting a yellow candle in her honor, just like she did for me when my son was deployed so many times. She was so proud.
And to my Nance...I love you...Nik
