Obituary
Nancy J. Read was called home by her
Heavenly Father on Thursday, August 17, at Memorial
Hospital in Springfield.
Nancy was the daughter of William E. and Jennie M. (Dalbey)
Gleason. She married Hal E. Read on November 19,
1961. He survives. This union brought forth a
daughter, Jena M. Read, residing in Lincoln. Other
survivors include Margaret Rankin and Paul E.
Gleason of Lincoln, and sister-in-law, Margaret
Gleason of Pennsylvania.
Preceding Nancy in death were her parents; two
brothers, Donald L. and Wendell L. Gleason; and
brother-in-law, Carl Rankin.
Nancy began her adult career as a secretary at
Lincoln Community High School, followed by
motherhood in which she cherished every moment.
Years later, she was a caregiver to her mother and
aunt, Lois Gandt.

She was a member of Lincoln Christian
Church. Part of her church involvements through the
years included teaching Sunday school, Harvest of
Talents team member, and VBS director. Nancy was a
former school board member, volunteer at the Crisis
Pregnancy Center, and assistant superintendent at
the Logan County Fair. She loved books, sewing,
culinary, flowers, and pampering the family pets.
Though Nancy was not ready for a temporary
separation from her loved ones, she knew God would
be with them. She was looking forward to being in
the presence of our risen Savior and those loved
ones who had passed before her.
A visitation will be at Lincoln Christian Church
from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday, August 21, 2023. A
family graveside service will be held. Memorials may
be made in Nancy’s name to Logan County Food Pantry.
