Nancy Ellen Bryson (Lampkins), 74, of Inkster, MI passed away April 1, 2020. Born August 12, 1945 to Everette and Edith Lampkins in Max Meadows, Virginia. She was one of the youngest of 13 siblings. She moved to Michigan at the age of 19 to assist her brother’s family in Michigan and met her soon to be husband, Bobby Bryson. Bobby and Nancy Bryson entered holy matrimony on May 6, 1965. To this union, they had three daughters: Yvette, Kimberly, and Barbara. Nancy, who accepted Christ at an early age, became a charter member of New Hope Missionary Baptist Church.

She started her career with the State of Michigan at Ypsilanti State Hospital in 1971 and then was promoted Huron Valley Men’s Correctional Facility.

Nancy loved working in the kitchen at church and her kitchen crew held a special place in her heart. She was known as the “Best Cook in Inkster”. She adored her grandchildren and was rarely seen without one of them by her side. She was her grandchildren’s number one cheerleader and made sure she attended almost every school and sporting event. She also enjoyed attending plays with the Drama Divas, going to the casino, and spending time with her family, friends, and siblings. If she was not a permanent passenger with her bonus daughter, Shirl you could find her cooking for family, and friends. Nancy was known as a giving, selfless woman of God. She was affectionately called Ms. Nancy, Nan, and My Granny by those who knew and loved her.
