Obituary of Nancy B. Asal

Nancy Bell Asal went home to be with her Lord and Savior April 4, 2020.  She was the daughter of the late Holman and Edna (Leveille) Bell, born August 19, 1929.  As a young woman she worked as a switchboard operator for the Bell Telephone Company.  Through mutual friends she met her future husband Richard J. Asal Sr.  They married on September 3, 1955 at the home they would share for the next 58 years.  She and Richard were an adventurous couple who loved to travel.  In 1966 they bought and converted a school bus into a camper.  They took many memorable trips with the whole family in tow.  She would document these trips by keeping a daily diary.  They both invested themselves in raising their 10 children.  She was a stay at home mother with strong values who managed to make sure her children attended church every Sunday.  Through this her children were blessed with extended church family, people who helped to shape their lives for the better.  Nancy loved to bake and was quite an artist.  She was well known for her hand knitted Christmas stockings that are cherished by many.

She is survived by her children Andre (Patricia) Asal of Anderson, SC., Richard Asal Jr. of Thompson, Debra Piper of Thompson, Priscilla Asal of Putnam, Cheryl Bisson of Thompson, Carla (Fred) Kress of Littleton CO., Sandra Law of Lexington SC., Kristine (Lawrence) Campos of Putnam, Scott Asal of San Diego CA., and Virginia Asal of Thompson.  Also surviving her are numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren, two nieces and a nephew.
