We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Nance Cummings-Wray, affectionately known as “Nance/Nancy” to all who knew and loved her. Nance peacefully went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, 21st May 2026, at the age of 66.
Born in Freetown, Sierra Leone on 7th April 1960, Nance was a devoted woman of God who loved her family, community, church, and most of all, our Lord and Saviour. She was a truly wonderful person, known by all for radiating boundless love and kindness to everyone around her.
She is survived and deeply missed by her three devoted sons – Paul (m. Esther), Peter (m. Rhianna), and Philip (m. Brianna), as well as her cherished grandchildren, family members, friends, and congregation.
Though our hearts are heavy with grief, we praise God for her beautiful life and take great comfort in knowing she is now resting in eternal peace.

Rest well aunty Omoh. Thank you for teaching me about puberty as a young child in Cole Street Freetown Sierra Leone. Jesus loves you best. I pray that the Lord will Comfort and console your children and family .
What a great loss. I only met Nance for the first time at FSSG face to face meeting in May this year. We sat together and we discussed numerous things in that short time snd I even served her food. Very pleasant person. Little did I know this was the first and last time.
May Nance soul rest in perfect peace. Amen
We have lost a beautiful soul, Heaven has gained an angel!
Nance was a peaceful, kindhearted and loving person. Her love knew no bound. She wasn’t just a devoted christian, but her actions proved her to be a true christian with a pure heart, kind heart and full of love. Her kindness didn’t just stop with her family, but was extended to others.
May her soul rest in peace, amen 🙏
Oh death where is thy sting?. In all things we give thanks to God. My friend what more can I say but thank you Lord for making us cross paths. You are a rear gem! You came, you touched lives, you actually walked the talk all to win souls for the most high. Now you are with your Jesus. Rest well my friend. Your boys are making us all proud and you will be heavily missed. Im sure you’re busy in heaven with your duties, don’t forget to set up an international community for the Angels, with your list. We truly miss you and until we meet again my dear friend.
Oh dear. Nance was a very good friend of mine when she was living in Freezywater, Enfield. She was also an active member of St George’s Church, Freezywater in the early 2000. She moved out and we lost contact of her. May her gentle soul rest in peace and rise in glory.
Nancy and I started school the same day and were classmates up secondary at the FSSG. It so happened at some point we both lived at Sanders Street and use to walk to school and back. She was always a gentle soul. We reunited last year at our school luncheon sale. Nancy was the only person that called me by my initials MS. We met again in April at a school event and she introduced me to her son and daughter in law. We had a good chat and it was good to see her enjoying herself and she said see you at the thanksgiving which was not to be. Little did I know that our goodbye hug was goodbye indeed. Rest well Nancy. MS
Wow, is this what it feels like to loose somene so near and yet so far?
Nan Cum as I refer to you,it was indeed a privilege to have crossed paths with you.
We attended the FSSG primary school together and travelled through to secondary school and found ourselves in nursing.
Was that destined?
You touched the hears of so many.
You were very talented especially in mathematics and the sciences.
You worked very hard and played very hard and yet one never understood how mischievous you could be.
Nan Cum, I could go on forever talking about your strength and perseverance to succeed in life.
Your mum and siblings were always very ,very proud of you especially during thanks giving when you collected your trophies one after the other.
You were the envy of so many.
Now you are the proud mother of three amazing and handsome gentlemen.
You spoke about your boys and their families all the time ,about, your commitment, dedication,sacrifice and ever growing love for your children and grandchildren.
For them to take a place in society and to follow your footsteps and this you did achieve.
But, sadly you were called home by our Lord and maker and was not going to be around that much to enjoy the fruit of your labour.
The last time I saw you ,was at my dear beloved mother’s farewell and repass.
You were up and about assisting with serving and cleaning up. I saw you with the black bag,going around tables, clearing up.
For this I thanked you so much!
If there is one last thing you should know,it is the fact that you were not a failure in society.
You succeeded in everything you aspired to do.
You gave of your absolute best to positively help others and improve society and for this we just want to thank you from the depth of our hearts.
We love and appreciate you.
All will be well Nan cum.
Give our love to Angie ,your parents and all who are your predecessors .
Sleep and take your rest, thou good and faithful servant.
All will be well .
Your boys have done you proud.
Bye,bye Nan cum, till we meet on that beautiful shore.,to part no more .xxx
You always
Although you were a quiet, gentle ,unassuming lady, yet you were the life and soul of the party.
Y
