Nancy Ann Douglas
Trowbridge


January 28, 1940 - December 14, 2020

Nancy Douglass Trowbridge, 80, died at her home on December 14th, 2020 of natural causes. Nancy was born on January 28, 1940 in Florence, AL. She is survived by her son and daughter, Jay Douglass Trowbridge, and Pamela Ann Trowbridge. She was preceded in death by her parents Gerald Alvin Douglass, Jr & Odie Mae Douglass.

Meticulous by nature, she never left the house without her matching lipstick. She was a classy, beautiful lady and loved everyone.  While gardening was her biggest joy and passion, she also loved interior decorating and particularly loved the Christmas season when she would fill every room with the holiday spirit. She especially loved her three Yorkshire Terriers, and each one held a special place in her heart.

Nancy graduated Coffee High school in 1958. Her passion for travel grabbed hold of her and after graduation, she traveled extensively to numerous destinations.   She dedicated herself to her children and her job as Administrative Assistant to the President of UNA, where she worked for 25 years.

As we grieve, we also rejoice in our time spent together and knowing that she has found the peace that we all seek, the peace of release. Because of the challenging times we are all experiencing, we have opted for a Celebration of Life to be held at a future date. In the meantime, a “Remembering” Facebook page will be setup.

If you wish to memorialize her, please make a donation to the beautification of the city of Florence, or to your favorite charity.

  1. Nancy was my lifelong best friend. It has come as a terrible shock and grief that she passed so suddenly. She was my
    go-to for all things with flowers and landscaping. I received some of my favorite ferns and orchids from her. I was always
    bringing home things from her garden. My favorite orchid is an old fashioned cattleya that has bloomed with a huge
    flowering each year. We traveled many wonderful places together, and still had plans to start again as soon as Covid was
    over, even here in the US. I will miss you, Nancy, terribly, and pray we see each other again with our Heavenly Father.

  2. Everyone who knew you will miss your smile. My prayers are with you loved ones.

  3. Nancy and I go way back – we were in the Follies together – practiced at the Episcopal Church. Our lives took separate paths as we had children, jobs , sadness & happiness.
    A few years ago, Nancy joined my Ballroom dance classes – we spent some special time together reminiscing our younger
    days. I loved having her back in my life – a wonderful lady. We will all miss her. Suzy
