By -
She was born Jan. 17, 1930, in Noblesville, to Joseph Lawrence and Vera Esther Stum Prout and moved to Warsaw in early childhood.
Nancy was a 1947 graduate of Warsaw High School. After raising her children in the Lutheran faith, she converted to Catholicism and was a member of Sacred Heat Catholic Church. She worked in the order department at DePuy Orthopaedics and retired in 1995. She was a diehard Cubs fan and was rumored to occasionally sneak out of work early to go home and watch an afternoon game. Nancy was a serious animal lover and never met a dog she didn’t like. She played on the DePuy women’s softball team and also enjoyed bowling, golfing and playing bridge.
She was a devoted Elvis fan and saw him perform his final concert in Indianapolis. In her own words, Nancy was sweet, charming and full of “it.” When asked how she was doing or feeling, she nearly always smiled and answered, “Two thumbs up!” Nancy loved her children and grandchildren dearly but was especially thrilled when she became a great-grandmother. She taught her grandchildren to bowl, golf, bake chocolate pie and always let them win at cards and board games. She never missed her grandkid’s t-ball, softball, baseball or volleyball games and always had the best snacks for frequent sleepovers.
Nancy is survived by daughters, Jody (Tom) Burns, of Warsaw; and Patty (Chuck) Williams, of Las Vegas, Nev.; sister, Pat (Richard) Wheeler, of Woodland, Calif.; sister-in-law, Mary Prout, of Warsaw; daughter-in-law, Dorothy Brumfield, of Lady Lake, Fla.; grandchildren, Stuart Brumfield, of Lady Lake, Fla.; Morgan Kelly, of Port St. Lucie, Fla.; Kate (Paul) Nowak, of Warsaw; Sara Burns, of Indianapolis; Megan Burns, of Warsaw; Cameron (Shannon Kelly) Williams, of Warsaw; Casey (Diane) Williams, of Los Angeles; and Marcia (Jeb) Austin, of Las Vegas, Nev.; and seven great-grandchildren.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her children, Dan and Ruth; and brother, Joe Prout.
A private graveside service will be held on Friday, June 5 at 11 a.m. in Oakwood Cemetery, Warsaw, with Father Jonathan Norton officiating. Due to current COVID-19 guidelines, a memorial mass will be scheduled at a later date at Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
McHatton-Sadler Funeral Chapel is assisting with arrangements.
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, for the old order has passed away.” Revelation 21:4.
