Nancy Ann Ayres

Nancy Ann Ayres, age 64, died peacefully on the morning of April 24, 2022 at Temple University Hospital. Nancy was born on July 12, 1957, in Philadelphia, PA, to Edward and Nancy Lockhead. Nancy was one of six children.

In 1975, Nancy graduated from Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls. Later, Nancy attended nursing school where she received her degree in Practical Nursing (LPN). Nancy worked as a nurse for nearly 35 years. She spent the majority of her career in the pulmonary unit at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children.

Nancy is survived by her husband (Phillip), two children (Lisa [married to Ariel], Joshua), four grandchildren (Miranda, Ariela, Jeremiah, Jaylise), and three great-grandchildren (Malani, Mason, Rashad).

Besides spending time with family and friends, Nancy was a passionate follower of Christ. She served God by serving others. She was the director of a food pantry, worked with the homeless and drug addicted, supported single mothers, and took in children off the street. She was a fierce advocate for those she loved; she never backed down from a fight. Nancy lived her life as a glowing example of God's grace, kindness, and love.

Relatives and friends are invited to her viewing on Wednesday, May 4th 9:30 AM to 10:45 AM at the Philadelphia Christian Center, 2990 Street Road, Bensalem PA.
