Hello Bob:

I am afraid that I have some rather sad news- Nancy Pless died this afternoon of a heart attack. From what I understand at the moment, there will be a memorial next Saturday at her home church in Coweta County. (Not sure which one that is, but will find out). I don’t know much else at the moment- I just wanted to let you what I know at the present time.

Steve

MM Nancy

As many of you are aware, Nancy Pless was an attendee and functionary for many years at our POPASMOKE Reunions. Nancy and Mike Clausen, MOH did the formal honors with wreath-laying ceremonies for our lost MArine brothers at our Memorial Services.

Over the years, she became known as "Marine Mom" (or MM Nancy as she signed her letters) Nancy as she loved her Marines and would not miss a reunion or other event despite her significant back pain. She was living in a convalescent situation during her heart attack on Sunday. She will be much more at ease now, as she suffered significantly from that pain.

Her flight suit and ball cap are now retired. We will all miss her, and will remember her soft-spoken southern style as another of our Marine Memories.
