Nancy Ann LeDew, age 56, died at UF Health Jacksonville, on Sunday, Dec. 13, 2015. Nancy was an ailurophile, who wanted to be a Hollywood star, despite her longtime penance in Live Oak, Florida.

Born in Monterey, California on May 6, 1959, to Nancy Waldron LeDew and Capitan Thomas Albert LeDew. She was a graduate of the University of Florida. Nancy had a very big heart, which was preempted with an arrhythmia, and a strong wit, that was laden with guilt. Nancy will be especially remembered as a beautiful woman, a great cook, a free spirit, and a loving mother.

Survivors include her daughter, Heather Ann Wainwright, Jacksonville, Florida; her son, David Thomas Forrest, Fort White, Florida; her three brothers, Thomas Albert LeDew, II, Pace, Florida; John Waldron LeDew, Live Oak, Florida; and Christopher Wheat LeDew, Jacksonville, Florida, her longtime companion, David Braun, Lake City, Florida; and her beloved cats, Rebby, Angel, Freckles, Hip Hop, Inky, Sugar, and Pink Nose.
