Nancy Caldwell Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Rairigh-Bence Funeral Home, Inc, of Indiana on Dec. 30, 2025.
Nancy Lee (Mitchell) Caldwell, 86 of Indiana, formerly of Homer City, entered eternal rest on Sunday, December 28, 2025 at St. Andrew's Village in Indiana. Born in Baltimore, MD on September 11, 1939, she was the daughter of the late Carl Mitchell and Eleanor (Sanchee) Mitchell.

She was a devoted mother. Nancy was NEVER hesitant to give advice to her two daughters, supervise their dates, and chased away more than one suiter! She was a longtime employee at St. Andrew's Village where she worked as a housekeeper and later received the President's Club Award. Nancy was more than an employee.

When she saw a resident nearing their end, she often sat with them after her shift to hold their hand and read the Bible. She also decorated the facility to celebrate holidays and the Indiana County Fair which was admired by all. Nancy loved St. Andrew's while working and later living there. The kindness and care shown to her will never be forgotten by her family.

Nancy enjoyed watching her daughter's horse shows, spending time with her grandchildren, drinking good coffee, eating at various restaurants, attending yard sales, and going to the Goodwill where she often found hidden treasures.

She attended the Christ Fellowship Church in Indiana.

She is sadly missed by her daughters: Rhonda Reinholtz (Henry), Indiana and Robin Manfield (Micheal) Eudora, KS. Nancy is also survived by her granddaughters: Katherine Reinholtz (Sarando Salyer) and Sarah Braden (Andy Hamilton) and great granddaughter, Charlotte Rose Salyer. Other survivors include her nieces and nephew: Carla Toelle (Robert), Kelly Mitchell Wetherington (Jason) and Carl Mitchell, Jr. (Linda).

She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Carl "Bunky" Mitchell, Sr. and by her sister-in-law, Lillian "Sis" Mitchell.

Friends will be received Friday, January 2nd from 4 to 6 PM at the Rairigh-Bence Funeral Home & Crematory in Indiana, where her funeral service will be held Saturday morning at 11 AM. Pastor Eryn Stewart will officiate. Interment will be Oakland Cemetery, Indiana.
