IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Nov 15, 1946 — Sep 23, 2026
Madison, Alabama
Nancy Elizabeth Rosenthal, 79, of Madison, Alabama, passed away peacefully at her home on September 23, 2026. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great‑grandmother, Nancy leaves behind a loving family who will forever feel the void of her absence.
Born on November 15, 1946, in Memphis, Tennessee, Nancy was the daughter of Lexie A. and John P. Reynolds. She graduated from Central High School and later married the love of her life, Roger L. Rosenthal, on August 5, 1966. Together they built a beautiful life centered around family, faith, and unwavering devotion.
Nancy was a proud and dedicated mother to her daughters, Shelbie and Karen. Her greatest joy came from being a grandmother and great‑grandmother, roles she cherished deeply. She treasured every moment spent with her grandchildren: Wade (Tasha) Grigsby of Tucson, AZ; Tyler Grigsby of Olmstead Falls, OH; and Adam (Kali) Cullum of Millington, TN. Her heart was fullest when she became “Maw” to her great‑grandchildren Kiera, Leo, Paisley, and Letti.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Lexie and John Reynolds; her husband, Roger Rosenthal; and her daughter, Karen Cullum. She is survived by her daughter Shelbie (Dave) Grigsby of Madison, AL; her son‑in‑law Jeff Cullum of Millington, TN; and her beloved grandchildren and great‑grandchildren.
Nancy will be laid to rest beside her husband at Northridge Woodhaven Cemetery & Funeral Home, 6755 Hwy US‑51, Millington, TN. Visitation will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., followed immediately by a graveside service.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in her honor.
She will be always loved, never forgotten, and forever missed.
