Nancy Ellen (Durham) Weimer, 81, of Columbus and formerly of Bellefontaine, passed away at 2:22 a.m. on Sunday, November 11, 2018 in Wesley Glen Retirement Community, Columbus. She was born in Bellefontaine, OH on January 25, 1937, the daughter of the late Frederick and Estelle (Hoffman) Durham. On August 25, 1984, she married Don Lincoln Weimer and he preceded her in death along with a brother Frederick "Pete" Durham and nephew Todd Morgan Durham. She is survived by her brother, David (Imogene) Durham; niece, Jennifer (Matthew) Viets; nephew, Ted Durham; great-nephew, Steven Viets; great-niece, Alexandra Durham; step-son, Deven Weimer; step-grandchildren, Sarah and Anna Weimer; and sister-in-law, Elizabeth Durham; as well as other family members and friends. Nancy graduated from Bellefontaine High School and then Lutheran Hospital School of Nursing in Cleveland, OH. She then went on to receive her BA from Miami University and a MS from the University of California, San Francisco. She received additional education from the University of Toledo as a Primary Nurse Practitioner. She spent her professional career at CWRU Hospitals, teaching at CWRU in the Nursing Program, Mary Rutan Hospital and as a "friendly neighbor" for many whom she came into contact with. She was a member of St. John's Episcopal Church in Worthington, OH and Chapter #267 Order of Eastern Star. Nancy was honored as a member of the National Nursing Society, a graduation speaker for CWRU Nursing class, teacher of the year and co-author of several chapters in a nursing text. She enjoyed her four-footed pets (dog and cat), caring for a flower and vegetable garden, learning the computer, keeping up with medical innovations and reading almost anything she could get her hands on. She worked diligently in-home renovations and was glad when it was done though there was always more to do. She leaves a wish that the world be at peace. Rev. Philip College will officiate a graveside service in the Bellefontaine Cemetery on Thursday, November 15, 2018 at 1 p.m. Funeral arrangements are in care of the Eichholtz Daring & Sanford Funeral Home and Cremation Center in Bellefontaine and online condolences may be expressed to the family at
