Nancy Ruth McPherson of Kincardine, died Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025, surrounded by the love of family, at the South Bruce Grey Health Centre, Kincardine, in her 79th year. Loving mother of Jason (Jennifer) Smith of Teeswater, and Michael (Coleen) Smith of Waterloo. Dear grandma of Josh (Victoria), Nathen (Kara), Dylan (Jerica), Benjamin, Tyson, Peyton, Hayley, Emmett and Amanda.

Nancy grew up on a farm outside of Teeswater, with her parents and her eight siblings. She lived outside of Formosa for a good portion of her life where she raised her three sons, moving to Kincardine in her later years. She was a kind soul with the biggest heart, who always saw the best in people and was there when someone was in need. She was devoted to her family; they were her everything. For the last year of her life, she resided at Trillium Court Long-Term Care where she was always brightening the nurses’ days. Mom is up in heaven now with our beloved brother, father, and grandparents whom she missed so much.
