Nancy Mae Peart

Nancy Mae Peart (Armstrong) March 20, 1941 – October 25, 2026

Nancy Mae Peart, 85, of North Richland Hills, Texas, passed away on October 25, 2026.

Nancy was born on March 20, 1941, in Steubenville, Ohio (Dean Martin’s Town), to Ethel Vogel and Wade Armstrong. She grew up in Brooklyn New York and went on to make her home in Red Bank, New Jersey; Périgueux, France while Jack served in the Army; Columbus, Ohio; Thousand Oaks, California; Fairview and Colleyville, Texas, always staying close to family.

For many years, Nancy was a stay-at-home mom. After moving to Texas, she served as a teacher's aide at Bear Creek Elementary before stepping into the travel world. She finished her career at American Airlines as a travel experience agent.

Nancy loved to travel with her husband and friends, and cruises became their favorite part of retirement. When the family was young and living in California, she spent whole summers camping at the beach, relaxing in the sand, and building a wonderful life for her family. Nights, and every other moment she could find, were for playing games with her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. Her favorite thing was beating any unsuspecting opponent at bridge or Scrabble.

Nancy was a faithful follower of Christ and attended Bethany Baptist Church in California, CountrySide Bible Church in Southlake, Cottonwood Creek Church in Allen and CrossCreek Church in Colleyville. She will be remembered for making everyone feel seen, wanted, and loved. She made sure everyone she knew received a birthday card from she and Jack. In her final days, her closest friends shared what a difference she had made in their lives by caring, listening to their needs, and helping whenever she was asked. She would always need a 25-minute “Peart warning” prior to leaving so she could show each person the love they deserved through good-byes.

Nancy and Jack gave their family a wonderful legacy through 67 years of marriage. They were two broken people from broken pasts who kept Christ at the center of their marriage and showed others what it means to love one another as Christ loves the church.

Nancy is survived by her faithful and loving husband, Jack H. Peart Jr.; her children, Debbie (Chris) Prewitt, Rebecca Peart, and Greg (Erin) Peart; 8 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her son, Brian Peart, whom she loved, admired, and respected with all her heart.

A memorial service will be held on Monday, November 23, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. at CrossCreek Church, 5300 Colleyville Blvd., Colleyville, TX 76034. A meet and greet will begin at 3:30 p.m. For those who would like to attend but cannot, the service will be live-streamed at [LINK].

The family has asked friends and family to wear fall colors to honor Nancy.
