Nancy Craig

Nancy Craig, 88, of Ireland, passed away on Friday, September 5, 2025, at St. Josephs Hospital in Buckhannon.

She was born in Buckhannon on June 24, 1937, a daughter of the late Thorne Clarence Craig and Martha Blakeslee Craig.

Nancy was greeted at Heaven’s Gate by her parents; and two brothers: Martin Edwin “Penny” Craig and Charles Robert Craig.

She is survived by one brother, Carl Richard Craig and wife, Glenna, of Buckhannon.

Nancy graduated from Walkersville High School and Glenville State College where she earned her Degree in Education.

Mark Twain once said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness,” and Nancy embodied this sentiment throughout her life.

Her passion for traveling allowed her to explore the world in all its diversity and wonder, filling her heart with a global perspective that she eagerly shared with all who knew her.

She was a woman who was never married, yet she was never alone. She found companionship in her beloved cats and shared her warmth and kindness with all she met.

There will be no services at this time.

We, at Clutter Funeral & Cremation – Alkire Chapel located at 190 Wildcat Road in Ireland, are honored and privileged to serve the family of Nancy Craig.

Online condolences may be expressed at www.ClutterFuneralHome.com.
