Nancy E. Hudak, age 87, of McKeesport, died peacefully on June 12, 2025 at The Residence at Arrowood. Born September 4, 1937, in Pittsburgh, she was the daughter of the late Homer Hartman.

Before retiring, Nancy dedicated many years of her life as a nurse aide at the Jewish Home for the Aged of Squirrel Hill, where her gentle spirit and warmth provided comfort to countless individuals. Her kindness extended far beyond her profession; she had a remarkable ability to brighten the lives of those around her. Nancy was also known for her love of games of cards, bingo, sewing, and knitting, hobbies that brought her joy, relaxation, and a sense of connection with friends and family. Many long afternoons were spent with a good book. She also enjoyed bus trips, where she fostered a sense of adventure.

Nancy is survived by her six daughters, Deborah (John) Ewald, Linda (Chuckie) Chalovich, Charlene (Jay) Presken, Sherrill (Rick) Mendola, Jean (Bob) Vogel, and Kimberly (Rory) McLaughlin; along with extended family, including many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In addition to her father, she is preceded in death by her children, Robert (Bill) Baker, and Karen Beal; brothers Ronald H., Edward H., Robert H., Leroy Hartman, and Homer Hartman.

Arrangements were entrusted to Willig Funeral Home & Crematory. Condolences and memories may be shared at www.willigfuneralcremationservices.com. A private service will follow at a later date.
