Nancy was born and raised in Brownfield just southwest of Lubbock. She received her Bachelor of Business Administration degree with a major in Accountancy & Information Systems from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin in Odessa (UTPB) in 1982.

She worked there over four years applying the accounting she learned at night to her job as full charge bookkeeper and computer operations manager for the accounting department.
