Age 88, entered her eternal
home Nov. 7, 2017, surrounded
by her loving family in Hennis
Care Centre in Bolivar. Nancy
was preceded in death by her parents,
James A. and Florence A.
(Hill) Callahan. She was born
June 23, 1929 in Bellaire, Ohio,
where she met the love of her life,
Charles W. Hannan, and they
married in 1949. They left the
Ohio Valley and ventured to
Magnolia, Ohio where they settled
and raised their four children.
Nancy was a stay-at-home mother while raising her children. She then
became a study hall monitor at Sandy Valley High School and then
transitioned into the Principal's Secretary for many years. Nancy and
Charles were blessed to have spent 17 winters in Naples, Fla., where
they had many good times with wonderful friends. Nancy prided herself
in being an avid exerciser and riding her stationary bicycle daily
until she became ill. She was Charles' caregiver for many years.
Nancy is survived by her husband, Charles, with whom she celebrated
their 68th Wedding Anniversary on April 2nd; her children,
Stephanie (Joe) Wigfield, Greg (Helen) Hannan, Mark (Diana) Hannan,
and Lise (Mike) Kernan; Nancy's grandchildren were the light of
her life, and include, Dr. Joseph (Lisa) Wigfield, Colleen Wigfield
(Daryl) Newell, Paul (Tiphanie) Hannan, Kelly Kernan (Charles)

great-grandchildren, Dylan, Joshua, and Jacob Newell, Brandon,
Jordan, Landen, and Camdyn Wigfield, and Austin, Iris, and Asher
Hannan; and her sister, Mary Lou Schoen.
Nanny, as known by her grandchildren, will always be remembered
for her spaghetti & meatballs and chocolate chip cookies.
She enjoyed her annual family Oglebay weekend, summer beach vacations,
camping at Atwood, and many picnics with the Magnolia Gang
at Atwood Yacht Club. She was a member of Magnolia United Methodist
Church, Sandy Valley Women's Club, Red Hat Society in
Naples, East Sparta Bowling League, and Atwood Yacht Club. A special
thank you to the Angels at Hennis Care Centre in Bolivar who
cared for Nancy throughout her illness and especially her final days.
