Obituary

On Monday, November 30, 2020, Mary Nancy Wilson-Garber-Fears, a loving wife, sister and  mother of 3 children passed away at the age of 84 from natural causes.

Nancy was born on February 15, 1936 in Wauwatosa, WI to John and Lillian (Hein) Malloy.  She was raised and went to school at the Guardian Angel Orphanage in Chicago, IL.  She was married to Marvin Wilson.  They raised three daughters, Linda, Valeria and Sharon.

Nancy served in the U.S. Marine Core Reserves from 1950 to 1954.  She was also a member of the Moose Lodge in Blue Eye, MO.  Nancy was of the Catholic faith.

Nancy moved to Lampe, MO on Table Rock Lake in 1965.  Her neighbors became her family and showed her how to work the land.  It was the biggest change of her life, leaving behind the city girl and becoming a country girl, raising her family.

Nancy had a passion for bowling, she was on several bowling leagues at the Hillbilly Bowl Kimberling City, MO.  She loved square dancing and was a member of Silver Dollar City Squares and Baldwin City Squares.

Nancy loved living at Table Rock Lake.  She enjoyed fishing and swimming, but most of all she loved working all the flower gardens she put in the yard.  There never was a time in the season's that you wouldn't see beautiful colors blooming from early spring until late fall.  Her front porch swing was her haven to watch all the birds at all of her bird feeders filled and the wildlife that would visit her gardens.  Those were the best days of her life.

Nancy was preceded in death by her father John Malloy and her mother Lillian Malloy.  Her husbands, Marvin Wilson, Benny Garber and Jim Fears, also her sisters, Dorothy Moore and Linda Rook.  She is survived by her sister, Patricia Williams of Chicago, IL; two daughters, Valeria Powell of Independence, MO and Sharon McClenathan of Lampe, MO.  Nancy had seven grandchildren, Jarrod and Audrey Powell, Justin, Austin and Chase McClenathan, AJ and LeAnn Jeske.  She had ten great grandchildren, Pierce Powell, Brailyn Swann, Ethan, Lilly Mae, Serinity, Taylee Grace, Carmen, Marlena McClenathan, Jilly Hayes and Jackson Souza.  She also had one great great grandchild, Amelia.
