Obituary for Nancy Johnston
After a long battle with Parkinson’s, our precious mother Nancy Johnston walked through the pearly gates into the loving arms of her Savior. She was greeted by her parents Arnold and Sarah Welch, brother and sister JC Welch and Linda Muncy, and son Jeff Johnston.
She will be greatly missed by her loving family and friends. Husband, Daniel Stuart Johnston; children, Timmy and Cindy Johnston, and Scott and Jennifer Ratcliff, grandchildren, Jared and Carlee Ellison, Levi and Lauren Johnston, Rob and Sara Abbott, Jack Ratcliff, Shelby Ratcliff, Jessey Johnston and Abigail Johnston, great-grandchildren, Waylon Abbott and Everly Ellison (arriving soon). Her loving brothers, Buddy and Neecia Welch, Ronnie and Carla Welch, Gary and Vicki Welch, sister-in-law Mary-Etta Johnston, and brother-in-law Leon Muncy. Nancy loved her many nieces and nephews, and her Bristol family.
Her family would like to give a HUGE thank you to the nurses and staff of Highland Ridge Rehab Center who have loved and cared for her for nearly 5 years.
We anxiously wait to see her precious face again.
Funeral services will be held Monday Feb. 25th at 2pm from the Stevens Funeral Home Chapel with the Rev. Jin Linkous officiating. Burial will follow in the Thornspring Cemetery. The Family will receive friends Sunday afternoon from 4 to 6pm at Stevens Funeral Home, Pulaski.

I am so sorry for your loss of this beautiful soul. I know she fought a long battle, but everyone who knew her loved her, especially my sister, Nick. I’m sure she will see Nick when she arrives in her heavenly home. Love and prayers are with you all.

Stuart, Ninnie(Jenifer) Timmy & all of Nancy’s family. We send our deepest sympathy and condolences. We did not know until today, I had to tell Mom and she is so upset over missing the services and most of all losing her long time friend. She had been going to see Nancy at least every couple weeks, sitting for hours with her when she could. As she is struggling fr the stroke she wears out but she always come home talking about eating dinner with Nancy bc she insisted she stay. Highland was always nice enough to bring an extra bc Nancy insisted that her friend was staying. She was dearly loved by us all $ will be greatly missed. I have never forgotten when she introduced her special hot tea w/ (Tang) she would make for us. Keeping you all in prayer an may God give you comfort during this time.
