Devoted mother and wife Nancy Feist was called home to be with our Lord, along with her newborn son, Peter David, on June 19. Nancy was a lifelong, faith-filled Roman Catholic and a member of All Saints Catholic Church.
Nancy was born on Aug. 2, 1965, in Bethlehem, Pa. She is survived by her loving husband of 20 years, David, and adoring children Hope, Justin, Ryan, Craig, and Erin, all of Knoxville; parents Joseph and Nancy O’Keefe of Bethlehem, brothers Joseph, Michael, Sean, and families; and father- and mother-in-law Albert and Gloria Feist.
The great loves of her life were the Lord Jesus, her husband, and her six children. Nancy was truly salt and light to the world and a blessing to everyone she met. Nancy was a graduate of Liberty High School in Bethlehem and Hood College in Frederick, Md. Nancy enjoyed her work at the Chancery of the Diocese of Knoxville, where she served Bishops Joseph E. Kurtz and Richard F. Stika and the diocesan staff.
