Mary Nancy Kelly was born on Sept. 18, 1939, in Ruston, Louisiana, to Frank George and Maggie Faye Kelly.

She graduated from Louisiana Tech in 1961 with a degree in Dietary Science.

On June 11, 1961, she married the love of her life, Sam Spain. During their 57 years of marriage Sam’s 3M career took them to Brownwood, Texas, St. Paul, Minnesota and Genoa, Italy.

After retirement, they lived in Ocala, Florida, and finally in Stillwater, Minnesota.

Nancy will be remembered for her southern charm and hospitality. Above all she valued time with family, and was gracious and welcoming to all who entered her home.

She is survived by her children, Kelly (Gerard) Marks, Stan (Julie) Spain, and Sandy (Michael) Andreini; her grandchildren, Abbey Andreini, Sam and Maggie Spain; her brother, Charles Kelly; her aunt, Jane Sherrard; and her niece and nephew, Kim Bennett and Kevin Kelly.
