“Who can find a virtuous wife. For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.” Proverbs 31:10-11 Nancy Quincella Smith was born on March 17, 1945, in Marianna, Arkansas. She was the second of three children born to the late Jimmie Louis Douglass and Zelnar (Holmes) Douglass of St. Louis, MO. Growing up she had a natural ability for compassion towards others. She loved helping others almost to a fault – she would give her last. She attended Marshall Elementary School and Sumner High School. While attending Sumner, she played Field Hockey and played an instrument in the school band. She graduated from Sumner High School in 1963. After high school, she attended Forest Park Community College and went on to receive training in Statistical Tabulation. She was hired by Curtis-Toledo, Inc, an Air Compressor Manufacturer, and she retired after 20 plus years of excellent service. She confessed a hope in Christ at an early age and was baptized in Jesus name. At the age of 15, she received the precious gift of the Holy Ghost where she was faithful in her love of Christ over the years.
