She graduated from Greensboro Senior High, where she was senior class vice president, head cheerleader, and May Queen. She later attended Greensboro College and WC-UNC. Her husband's career eventually took the family to Charlotte, North Carolina, where they lived for 20 years and made many wonderful friends. Greensboro, however, was home to Nancy; so they moved back upon retirement. Wherever they lived, she always loved welcoming friends and family into her home. Nancy taught kindergarten for several years, was an avid bridge player and tennis buff, but her first loves were her family and friends. She always took great pleasure in finding special gifts for friends and loved ones, both at home and on travels all over the world. She thoroughly enjoyed her involvement with various charitable and social organizations, including the Mint Museum Auxiliary, antique study club, Greensboro Country Club, and Myers Park Country Club. She was also a hospital volunteer in both Greensboro and Charlotte. She was a very loving person who will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Nancy was preceded in death by her parents, William and Una Mae Beale; and her beloved sister, Annie Ben Kornegay. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 55 years, Gerald L. (Jerry) Clapp; her daughter, Candy Clapp Randall and husband, Dr. Robert D. Randall, Jr. of Rock Hill, South Carolina; her son, D. Mark Clapp and wife, Marilyn of Charlotte; and granddaughters, Kelly and Christina, who will miss their Nanny dearly. The family will receive friends immediately following the service at the church. The family wishes to extend sincere thanks to the staff at the Palliative Care Unit at Cone Memorial Hospital for the loving care provided to both Nancy and her family. A special thanks to Dr. Ravi Avva of Greensboro for his devoted care to Nancy during her illness.
