Nancy Jean Henry Rothwell, 82, of Pampa, passed on to meet the Lord, Sunday, March 2, 2014 in Pampa at Coronado Healthcare Center. Graveside services will be held at 3:30 pm, Tuesday, March 4, 2014 at Fairview Cemetery. Memorial services will be at 4:00 PM Tuesday at Highland Baptist Church with Pastor Paul Nachtigall of Highland Baptist Church and Pastor Clint Henry, her son, of Central Valley Baptist Church of Meridian, Idaho, officiating. Arrangements are under the direction of Carmichael-Whatley Funeral Directors. Nancy was born December 14, 1931 in Pampa to John and Ruby Whelchel. She was a graduate of Pampa High School and resided in Pampa, Borger, Childress and once again Pampa. She worked at Wilson Drug of Pampa during her early years and later at the Childress hospital. For a number of years she was a bookkeeper/receptionist at Earl Henry’s Wheel Alignment in Pampa. She attended the Methodist Church of Childress, Texas and was most recently a member of Highland Baptist Church of Pampa. She was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Her life was devoted to her family, and she left no doubt that they were her priority. She was full of God’s love and was someone you would never forget. She loved to cook and make quilts, and certainly possessed the gift of giving. Nancy will be sorely missed by her family, friends, and neighbors whose days she always brightened. Survivors include her two married sons, Curtiss and Mary Henry of Pampa, Clint and Jeannette Henry of Meridian, Idaho, their father Earl Henry of Pampa; five granddaughters, Kelsey Henry of Pampa, Kristen Wyatt, Kinsey Henry, Kimberly Cumby, and Kara Boone and their husbands all in Idaho; and seven great grandchildren (so far all girls); one sister and her husband, Sandy and Doug Brown of McKinney, Texas. She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband Bill Rothwell of Childress, Texas. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Interim Home Health, 2217 Perryton Parkway Pampa, Texas 79065, or to Highland Baptist Church, 1301 N. Banks, Pampa, Texas 79065. To God be the glory!
