Nancy Wallace of Moody, MO has gone home, leaving behind a circle of those who loved her.
What you read below is one part of a life lived with quiet purpose.
Nancy held deeply to the Baptist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew her best.
Belief, when lived, becomes a kind of inheritance.
Nancy Sue Wallace, 68, of Moody, Missouri, passed away April 26, 2026, at Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
She was born January 25, 1958, in West Plains, Missouri, a daughter of Clifford and Barbara Collins.
Nancy found joy in traveling, especially trips to Las Vegas, and loved spending time at the beach whenever she could. She enjoyed watching shows and was a devoted fan of Days of Our Lives. Above all, she cherished life's simple moments and the time she spent with her family and loved ones.
She was united in marriage to Gary Lee Wallace on June 7, 2003, who survives at the home.
She is also survived by her children, Kris Bartlett (Heather), Kevin Collins, A'neesha Webb, Cortez Higgs, Shawn Wallace, Gary Wallace, Jr., and Chelsey Wallace; along with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Clifford and Barbara Collins; and brothers, Dwight and Delbert Collins.
Friends and family will be received from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at Central Baptist Church in Houston, Missouri. Service will follow at 11:00 a.m. with Pastor Jarrod Spencer (Central Baptist) and Pastor Joseph Harden (Higher Dimension Ministries) officiating. Interment will follow at Buff Cemetery in Pomona, Missouri.
Arrangements are under the direction of HOUSER-MILLARD Funeral Directors, 2613 W. Main St.; Jefferson City, MO 65109. (573) 636-3838. Condolences may be left for the family online at www.millardfamilychapels.com
