Nancy Jane Bolling Shrader, age 88, of Beech Run, Hinton, WV passed away at Bowers Hospice House on October 18, 2023 following a long illness. Born on July 28, 1935 in Hinton, WV, Nancy was the daughter of the late Gilbert A. and Opal Hogan Bolling. She lived her younger years on Freezeland Mountain until her family moved to Hinton in the late 1940's. Nancy was blessed to be born second in a family of seven children. Her siblings include Mary Frances "Frankie" Bolling Willey, Patricia Ann "Patty" Bolling Lindsay, Ida B. "Topsy" Bolling Stennett, Valeria J. Bolling O'Neal, Linda Gail Bolling Lilly, and Gilbert A. , Jr. "Buddy/Gil" Bolling. Upon graduating in 1953 from Hinton High School, her next move was marrying the love of her life, Marvin Jack Shrader, Sr. and living the rest of her life on Beech Run near Hinton. She and Marvin were happily married for forty eight years until his passing in 2001. There was never a more devoted, loving couple than "Nannie" and "Poppy" as they were called by their 7 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. Nancy always enjoyed music, and she and Marvin were members of the Nimitz Senior Citizens Choir for several years. She enjoyed listening to country and gospel music. After spending most of her life as a Baptist, Nancy found her true home as a Methodist when she became a member of the Hinton First United Methodist Church. She served as the treasurer for the United Methodist Women for many years. Whenever there was a church dinner, Nancy would be asked to make her one of a kind deviled eggs that pleased everyone. Nancy was a carbon copy of her mother, Opal. They shared the same intelligence, sense of humor, love of children, and dedication to family. Their love of cooking was evident on a daily basis. Whenever any unexpected guest arrived, there would always be plenty to eat that magically appeared on the table. Like her mother, Nancy was a wonderful cook and homemaker. She was always making something delicious for the family, church, or neighbors. Her homemade fried pies, mouthwatering biscuits, applesauce raisin cakes, and much more made everyone smile. She kept her cookie jar full of butter "Yes/No" cookies for the grandkids and was always ready for an impromptu tea party with the young ones. All the grandkids and great-grandkids loved "Nannie" so much, and she made every single one feel very special. Nancy spent many years as a housewife but also worked in the community. Together with her husband Marvin she operated the Shrader Grocery and Bait Store on Beech Run for many years. She spent several years working at Hinton Floral, Cox's Department Store, and the Hinton Subway. Wherever she worked she gave 110% and was a valued friend and employee. Besides her parents, Nancy was preceded in death by her husband, Marvin Jack Shrader, Sr. , and son, Marvin Jack "Jackie" Shrader, Jr. , sisters: "Frankie" Willey and Patty Lindsay. She is survived by her children: Debra Shrader Cantrell of Nimitz, WV, Mark Shrader and wife Pam of Mullens, WV, and Mary Pat Shrader Stalans of White Oak, WV. Grandchildren: Adam Cantrell, Craig Cantrell, Matthew Stalans and wife Leslie, Kari Stalans, Benjamin Shrader, Amelia Shrader, and Cohen Shrader. Great-grandchildren: Jordyn Stalans, Jacob Stalans, Sofia Stalans, Liam Stalans, Logan Stalans, Mariah Stalans, Amity Whitelight, and Aleeya Cantrell. Siblings: "Topsy" Stennett, Valeria O'Neal, Linda Lilly, and "Buddy/ Gil" Bolling. Beloved nieces and nephews in the Bolling and Shrader families. A special "daughter" Jenny Lee Harvey. The family would like to thank the Summers County Hospital staff for their wonderful care of Mom. Dr. Nehal Patel, Dr. Hirishi Patel, and Sara Cales, PA were the most professional, loving, and caring medical professionals that anyone could hope for. The nursing staff and physical therapy staff were all wonderful care givers and special friends to Mom. These special individuals were the reason Mom was able to spend her last years with comfort and dignity. The family would also like to thank the staffs of Hospice of Southern WV and Bowers Hospice House for their dedication to making Mom's final days much easier for her. Their care and support were truly exceptional. A celebration of life will be held at the Hinton First United Methodist Church on Saturday, October 21, 2023. Visitation will be at 12:00 P.
