Nancy Calland Obituary
Nancy Ann Calland entered the nearer presence of our Lord on March 4, 2023 following several years of declining health.
She was born on December 14, 1938, the daughter of Albert Crossland and Alice Garlough Crossland, and sister of Wilma Jean Crossland. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Wilma, brother-in-law Richard Shank, and daughter Cheryl Calland.
She leaves behind her husband of 61 years, J. Phillip Calland, daughter and son-in-law Carol Ann and John Wickerham, son and daughter-in-law John and Sue Calland, and granddaughters Emily Wickerham, Leila Wickerham, and Heather Calland. She is survived by sister-in-law Donna (Ernie) Lohnes as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.
A graduate of Greenon High School and The Ohio State University, she was an excellent teacher of mathematics at Southeastern High School and Clark State. She mentored many students over the years.

I was so saddened by Nancy's passing. I've know Nancy, Phillip, John and Sue and Nancy's parents, whom were my neighbors. John and Sue became my neighbors living next to Debbie and Tim Mattern. Nancy taught me Statistics at Clark Technical Institute, now Clark State College. Nancy was brilliant and a wonderful teacher. She will always be remembered by her constant smile. My sympathy to Phil and family.

I am so sorry for your loss. May God provide you strength and solace through this hard time. Mrs. Calland was my teacher at Clark State, and she was the best teacher a class could have. I still think about her, all these years later because she was so special.
