Nancy J. Faiver, 72, of Girard, passed away on November 13, 2025 at her daughter's residence in Masury, Ohio. 

Nancy was born November 29, 1952 in Youngstown, Ohio, the daughter of Paul and Dorothy (Knight) Patterson. After graduating from High School, Nancy obtained her degrees in Accounting and Medical Billing. She had worked for various doctors over the years, and retired from Medsys Consulting in Boardman, Ohio. 

Nancy was a gifted sewer, having made beautiful quilts for all her children and grandchildren; clothes, not only for herself but her children; and Christmas tree skirts for everyone. She was also a great baker and had made wedding cakes at one time. Nancy's greatest joys came from her family, especially the grandchildren and great-grandchildren.


Nancy was a giver and a fighter who pulled herself up from nothing through great effort, despite some incredible adversity. She was a woman who helped when she could - and even when she couldn't - and would struggle because of it. The core of her as a person was always family, her children and grandchildren. 

She leaves to cherish her memory, her children, Jolene (Robert) Bier, Lacey (Justin) Cockrell and Christopher Faiver; brothers, Paul Richard Patterson and David Patterson; her grandchildren, Scott O'Connell, Colyn Foreman, Aubree Foreman and Kaitlyn Plant; and her great-grandchildren, Scarlet and Xavier O'Connell.

Besides her parents, she is preceded in death by her sister, Shirley Hunter: her brother, William Patterson: her granddaughter, Alexis: and her beloved pets, Nikita and Dixie. 

As per Nancy's wishes there will be no services.
