Nancy J. Fandrich, 87, of Murray, KY, passed away Friday, Dec. 31, 2021, at Murray Calloway County Hospital surrounded by her family.
Born in 1934 to John and Carmen Kronk Ramsey of Nashville, TN, she graduated from Isaac Litton High School in 1952 and attended the George Peabody School for Teachers where she studied special education and was a member of Kappa Delta.
She married William W. Fandrich in Nashville in 1953; they spent two years in Germany during his service in the US Army. Afterwards, they made Murray their home, where she enjoyed participating in golf scrambles at the Murray Country Club, studying special education at Murray State University, playing bridge with friends, and vacationing at Florida’s beaches. Most of all, Nancy was best known for her dedication to family, quick smile, sharp sense of humor, and the warm welcome she and her husband unfailingly extended to friends and family – neither ever met a stranger. Together, they possessed a remarkable knack for creating a lively, loving home bustling with activity and fun. Nancy was a member of the First United Methodist Church and encouraged her children to grow in their faith.
Nancy’s husband and daughter, Lee Ann, precede her in death, in addition to her parents.
She is survived by her children Susan Fandrich, Murray, Sharon Fandrich, Nashville, TN, William Fandrich, Jr. (Lisa), North Richland Hills, TX, and Nancy Karin Price (Jeremy), Murray; and grandchildren, Stephanie Ernsting (Matthew), Franklin, TN, Brad Simmons (Dr. Josh Adair), Murray, Michael Winchester (Grace), San Antonio, TX, Brianna May (Austin) Dallas, TX, Sydney Reid, Murray, Alec Ciora, Keller, TX, Lukas Fandrich, Arlington, TX, Myles Price, Murray, Jaxon Price, Murray, Grayton Price, Murray; and great-grandchildren Alexander and William Ernsting, Franklin, TN.
