NANCY H. "GRAN" GRISSOM
Tupelo - Nancy H. "Gran" Grissom, 89 passed away Monday November 16, 2015, at her Traceway Manor residence after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. A lifelong resident of Lee County, she was born March 23, 1926 in Baldwyn to the late Loyd and Ethel Wood Heflin. In 1955, she began a lifelong career as a deputy clerk with the Lee County Chancery Clerks office under the late John A. "Red" Rasberry. During her 44 years of public service, she made many friends who she considered family. She was a dedicated and faithful member of Parkway Baptist Church for more than 42 years. Her church family was a major part of her life. She was a kind, dedicated and Godly woman and she instilled great Christian values in her family that will live on for generations to come. Her gentle smile, always kind words and always prompt Christmas cards will be missed by all that knew her.
