"Lady" Nancy Denton Dodge, 92 of Franklin, left our Earth to be with her beloved husband, Keith "The Brigadier" and son, Dean. Nancy was gracious, thoughtful, smart and funny. She was always the life of the party, which started promptly at 5 o'clock! We will always remember her calm demeanor, her crossword puzzles, her cooking, her laugh and her uncanny ability to remember important dates.

She will live forever in the hearts of many including her family both near and far. She is survived by her sister, Phoebe Plunkett of Havre de Grace, MD; daughter, Nancy and Chad Idell of The Villages, FL; daughter-in-law, Diane Dodge of Franklin; son, Mark and Teresa Dodge of Woodland, CA and son, Craig Dodge of Franklin; grandchildren: Paige, Heather, Ryan, Travis, Jessica and Dean; great grandchildren: Keith, Sydney, Jackson, Devin, Riley, Sofia, Eli, Vincent and Isabella; and great-great grandson, Charles.

Services will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to Hospice House Foundation of WNC, Po Box 815, Franklin, NC 28744.
