Nancy McFarland
Nancy Irene McFarland, 87, of Signal Mountain, Tennessee, died peacefully at home on December 20, 2020, in the care of her family after battling atypical Parkinsonism for several years.
Known affectionately as “Nanny” to her family and friends, she was born in Cloquet, Minnesota on May 26, 1933 to Walter and Irene Peterson. She lived most of her life in Texas but moved to Signal Mountain two years ago. In Texas, she had worked as a secretary in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Texas A&M University. Nanny was an avid reader who loved to bake cookies, needlepoint, and travel; however, what brought her great happiness was being with her family, whom she cherished and adored until the day she died. She was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother. Being an interesting, kind, compassionate, and caring person, Nanny had many friends – to know her was to love her.
