Nancy Hanmer

Nancy Mayberry Hanmer, 80, passed away Friday October 21, 2022. She was born August 19, 1942, in Forsyth County, NC to the late King David Mayberry and Hattie Cooper Mayberry. After college, Nancy moved to Pennsylvania and started her career in education. After many years of teaching, she became a director for the Gifted and Talented program in Pennsylvania, and trained and equipped educators to better serve students. When she retired from education, Nancy turned her flower hobby into a thriving business - Greystone Flower Farm and specialized in weddings and events. Nancy was known for her kind spirit, generous heart, keen intuition of people and her eye for beauty. Nancy was one of a kind  - she loved people and they loved her right back. She made everyone feel special. In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her loving husband, Glace Eugene “Tucker” Hanmer; four brothers: Calvin Milton “Jack” Mayberry, Hassell Gray Mayberry, David “Wilson” Mayberry, and Robert Joseph Mayberry. She is survived by sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews, great-great nieces and nephews; and numerous caring friends and neighbors. Her favorite verse from the Bible was 2 Corinthians 12:9 “...My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” A memorial service will be held 11:00 AM Thursday, October 27th at Forsyth Memorial Park Mausoleum in Winston Salem, NC. A graveside service will be conducted Friday, November 4 at 2pm at St. Paul’s “The Pines” Lutheran Cemetery in New Oxford, Pennsylvania.
