Nancy Guthrie Described as ‘Sweet, Outgoing Person’ by Friend Amid Her ‘Scary’ Disappearance

A close friend of missing Nancy Guthrie is remembering the “sweet, outgoing”  84-year-old, and offering insight into her Arizona lifestyle before she vanished from her home on Sunday, February 1.

Nancy’s children, Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie and her siblings Annie and Cameron Guthrie, released a video on Wednesday, February 4, urging her alleged kidnappers to bring her home. Now, Mary Ann Blevins, 86, a longtime friend and fellow book club member of Nancy, is giving an inside look into her life in Arizona.

In an interview with Page Six, Blevins recalled last seeing Nancy last month at their book club meeting, saying that Nancy was “in really good spirits” at the time.

“We’ve known each other for many, many years,” Blevins said. “We were in touch a lot. She’s just a beautiful person.”

In addition to the book club, Blevins was part of a mahjong group and spent time with her grandchildren.
