Plane crash nola east (Fox 8 News anchor Nancy Parker killed in the crash...RIP)
RIP... How long has she been on air in NO? Seems like forever.
On Fox 8's broadcast last night, I believe they said she came to Louisiana in 1996 to work as an anchor in Baton Rouge. She grew up in Alabama, which is where she met her husband, Glen Boyd, who is from New Orleans. At some point during their time in Alabama, Glen decided that he wanted to focus their efforts on finding jobs in Louisiana so that they can move back to his hometown, and that's what happened.
I actually used to go to the same barbershop with Boyd and his kids when I was in my early to mid 20's, and their appointment times were always around mine on Saturday mornings. I didn't know them personally, but we all used to talk football together in there, and he was always very a nice person that was easy to talk to, as was Nancy anytime she was the one to bring the kids to the shop.
Also, their Saints season tickets are in the same general vicinity as me and my family's, so from time to time we will see them strolling in or out of the dome on Sundays. They always looked like a fun, happy couple.
This is yet another reminder of just how delicate life is and how it can be taken from either you or your loved ones in an instant. It's heartbreaking to know that she had such a horrifying final seconds of her life. No one deserves that.
