Nancy Ponder Brand died peacefully on March 28, 2026. She joyfully entered the loving arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who was the centerpiece of her life. Her deep faith and trust in Jesus defined her days and touched everyone she knew.
She was born on August 22, 1923, in Yazoo County to Bessie Winstead Ponder and John Lewis Ponder II at her maternal grandparents’ home, because Nancy's mother was playing the piano at the local revival service and simply did not have time to get to the hospital!
