VERA "VICKIE" NAGY
April 19, 1932-April 16, 2018
Vera Mae Nagy, 85, passed away peacefully at her home in Goldsboro, N.C., where she went to be with her Lord and Savior on April 16. Her final days were spent surrounded by her loving family who will miss and cherish her always.
Our beloved "Granny," as she was also known, is survived by her husband, Charles "Charlie" Nagy, Lt. Col. (ret.), U.S. Air Force (USAF); her children, Steve Nagy (and wife Debra), Cheryl Laverty (and husband Steve, SMSgt., ret., USAF), and Gary Nagy (and wife Betty); her grandchildren, Lauren Harris (and husband Jon), Lindsay Carter (and husband Coleman), Maura Laverty, Corey Nagy, Ryan Nagy, Austin Nagy, and Michael Laverty; and her great-grandchildren, Brayden Harris, Emma Harris, and Coleman Carter Jr. She is also survived by her sister, Betty Chrifone; and many nieces and nephews who she loved dearly. She was preceded in death by her parents, Emmit Speights and Margaret Elizabeth; and sisters, Dot Hayles and Louise Smith.
Vickie adored her family and spent her life putting their needs above her own, and would have had it no other way. She was a devout Christian and known for her infectious smile, Southern hospitality, and wonderful sense of humor. These were qualities she continued to demonstrate even in her final days.
