Nancy Huffman Obituary
Nancy was a member of the Cincinnati Christian Church near Bloomfield and in her later years attended Solsberry Christian Church. At Cincinnati Christian Church, she was a member of the Christian Women's Fellowship and the HEARTS organization. She retired from Fairview Elementary School in Bloomington as an elementary school teacher. She also worked for many years for Congressman Lee Hamilton.
Nancy loved animals; especially her cat, Bright Eyes. She enjoyed sending cards and notes to family and friends, traveling and flowers, especially yellow flowers. She had an adventurous spirit, she flew in an open cockpit plane, bungee jumped and zip-lined to name a few fun things she did in her senior years. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
Nancy is survived by her two nephews; Jim Harbin and his wife, Shari and David Harbin; close friends, Ron and Melody Carter and two great-nieces.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her two brothers, Fredrick Harbin, Jr. and James Harbin.
Memorial services to celebrate her life will be held on Thursday, April 4 at 7:00 p.m. at the Solsberry Christian Church, officiated by her dear friend, Ron Carter.

My brother Jim and I grew up with much admiration and respect for our Aunt Nancy Lee Harbin-Huffman.
Her courageous adventures, whether from her tenure as a photographer with the Columbus, Ind. news papers. (hope we're correct with this) She photographed many politicians and events. Her skydiving and other adventures she shared with all. Including her students at Fairview. Plus she would mail us photos and newspaper clippings. She shared quite a bit with us during our youth which was enlightening.
Our families catering, Condes' of Whiting catered her and Uncle Stu's wedding in Hammond. Our mother, Georgia D. Condes-Harbin and Nancy were very close. Our mom married our father, James Audley Harbin and brought we boys up within a secure loving family. Our memories growing up and spending quality time with aunt Nancy was a time we always looked forward to and treasured.
She never missed a birthday or holiday greeting card.
Mostly her genuine love for animals while adopting countless cats & dogs was admirable. Many strays would find their way to her home and heart. I, David, would refer to her home...was...aunt Nancy's Noah Ark cabin on the hill. We shared an incredible amount of support, news and stories of our fondness of animals. We all adopted shelter dogs & cats through the years.
We'd like very much to sincerely thank Ron Carter & family along with all her peers, close friends and church Pastor and acquaintances for their friendship, commarderier and care. We are grateful.
