Nancy was the oldest of four children, born December 31, 1946, to George William and Katie Vinzant Lloyd, in Natchitoches, Louisiana. She was raised and lived most of her life in the Natchitoches Parish area. While she was never blessed with children of her own, her brother and two sisters had many nieces and nephews, and grandson Tac, that she considered to be her children, loving on them, and spoiling them as often as she could. When she met Jim Gallien in 2001, she wrote in her journal that she “had met the love of her life”. She had no idea that not only did she meet the love of her life, she was also marrying into a huge family that would soon love her back just as much. Nancy had a passion for her family, reading, cooking, and taking care of her loving husband. She was always busy in the kitchen preparing everyone’s favorite dish for the family gathering, or the holidays, and loved to try new recipes. Everyone was truly blessed by having Nancy in their lives. Nancy will be missed, but we know she has her wings and is flying high in the heavens looking over all of us with a smile.
