Nancy Corbell
Nancy Ann Barnes Corbell entered the arms of Jesus at age 87 Sunday, Jan. 26, 2025, in Stephenville, Texas surrounded by her family and friends.

She married the love of her life, Jack Corbell on May 28, 1958, and together they shared seven children and 65 loving years.
During their 65 years she enjoyed being a home maker, caring for her large family, and hosting large gatherings where she prepared many meals.
She immensely enjoyed listening to music, leading worship music, and travelling when her family schedule permitted. Above all else she believed in Jesus and actively sought him through prayer, studying scripture and lived a life that aligned with his teachings.
She never met a stranger and if she did, they quickly became her friend. She enjoyed gathering with friends and family often around a dinner table and her greatest blessings in life were her children. She loved to share stories and photos of all of her family with others.
