Nancy Raith, age 68, of Mountain View, Missouri, passed away on July 1, 2026, She was born on January 19, 1958, and spent her life embracing the simple joys and quiet beauty of rural farm living.
Nancy was happiest at home on her beloved farm, where she built a life centered around family, nature, and the land she loved. A true homebody at heart, she found great contentment in the everyday rhythms of country life. She also found comfort in her faith and believed in the hope of a future resurrection, looking forward to the time when she would be reunited with loved ones and enjoy life again in peace and happiness. She took pride in caring for her animals, tending her colorful flower beds, and nurturing her garden each season. Her love for the outdoors also led her to enjoy hunting and fishing, activities that brought her peace and happiness throughout her life.
Above all else, Nancy cherished her family. She was devoted to her husband, the love of her life, with whom she shared 49 wonderful years of marriage. Together they built a life filled with love, commitment, and countless memories. She was also a loving mother to her son and daughter-in-law.
Nancy will be remembered for her jovial spirit, her appreciation for life’s simple pleasures, and her unwavering love for her family, home, and animals. Her presence brought comfort and warmth to those who knew her, and her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 49 years, Jerry Raith; her son, Jason Raith; and her daughter-in-law, Cami Raith, along with other family members and friends who will miss her dearly.
Though she has fallen asleep for now, the beauty she cultivated in her gardens, the love she shared with her family, and the memories she created on the farm will remain for generations to come.

I so look forward to hugging her again, and laughing till we cry again. She had such a great laugh. I look forward to helping her and Jerry rebuild their dream house. Where we will “put nail, put nails, hammer hammer hammer”….. 🙂

Bye Sis, I’ll truly miss you, I know we didn’t get to spend much time together the last few years, but we sure had some crazy ole times when we were a little younger, fishin, deer hunting, acting like goofballs and laughing our silly heads off about the dumbest things.!! Now I long even more for the time when our wonderful God Jehovah will long for the work of his hands Job 14:15 and bring all our loved ones back to life in paradise and we will cry and Hug each other till our arms give out.!! I love you Bunches and look forward to seeing you when God says it’s time for the resurrection of the dead.!! John 5:28-29
