Nan was born in Humble, Texas on August 18, 1979 to Jack Dowling and
Carol Jones Dowling. She was raised in Carrollton, Texas and attended
the Carrollton/Farmers Branch School District. Upon graduating from
Newman Smith, she attended Texas A&M University. Nan loved swimming and
running her entire life. She was actively competitive in both sports and
won numerous awards for her achievements. She was the best friend to her
sisters, Nicole and Korie, of which she was an identical twin to Nicole.
One friend recalls Nan in an online condolence as, "kind, funny and the
life of the party. She didn't care if you were not popular or different;
she treated everyone the same. She had a way of bringing out the best in
people and made you feel like you were important." Nan also loved her
poodles "Molly", "Peaches" and "Baby", of which "Baby" was acquired
while at college because of how much she missed "Molly". She had a huge
heart and she was kind and loving towards all. Another friend of Nan's
said " Her smile and laughter were infectious." She will be greatly
missed by all whose lives she has touched.
She was preceded in death by grandparents, Jack and Loraine Dowling, and
Samuel Jones.
Nan is survived by her parents; Jack Dowling and Carol Jones Dowling; 2
sisters: Nicole Stilwell and husband Jerame of Waxahachie, Korie Kimrey
and husband Mark of Plano; niece, Sophie Stilwell and 2 nephews, Jackson
Stilwell and Canon Kimrey; numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Grandmother, Nanny Maxine Mair of Bonner Springs, Kansas. She is also
survived by her fiancé, Michael W. Smith (Carmine).
In addition to flowers, donations may be made in Nan's name to Special
Olympics Texas at www.sotx.org.
