Nane was born in Thola, Arkansas on December 2, 1934 and spent most of her childhood in the state. She was a hairdresser by profession and received many awards for her work. Thirty-four years ago, she moved to New Orleans, Louisiana where she was actively involved in her home church, the Gideon Auxiliary, and for many years led a Bible study in a women's prison near downtown New Orleans. In the spring of 2000, the Sheltons moved to Waxahachie where their one son and his family were living. For the last ten years she has made the Waxahachie/Red Oak area their home. She was an active member of the First Baptist Church Red Oak where her son was pastor for several years. Nane was a woman who never met a stranger. She loved the Lord, her family, and her friends. She loved to cook meals for her family, bake cookies and sweets for her friends, and collect antiques for herself. Her antique-collecting was as much about the hunt and making the deal as it was about the acquisition. Every antique had a story, and she loved telling them over and over again. This past weekend, Nane went to sleep at the Red Oak Health and Rehabilitation Center and woke up in heaven. She leaves behind a family and friends who loved her dearly, and who will miss her greatly. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to the Gideons Memorial Bible Fund, Ellis County Gideons, P. O. Box 2683, Waxahachie, Texas 75165. www.waynebozefuneralhome.com
