Nancy Spragg, 81, of Lake Isabella, passed away Friday, December 17, 2021, at Woodland Hospice House in Mt. Pleasant. Nancy was born October 29, 1940, in Detroit, Michigan, daughter of the late Lawrence and Roelina (Walthouse) Reif. She married Warren C. Spragg, Jr. on January 28, 1961, in Grosse Pointe, Michigan.

She taught high school English for 30 years, retiring from Alma Public Schools after 15 years. She had previously taught at Montabella and Midland High Schools. Traveling was very enjoyable to Nancy, especially to Florida. She liked boating and fishing and was a huge supporter of her husband as a "coach's" wife.
