Nancy J. Schill, age 78, of Erie, PA., went to be with the Lord on Sunday, July 20, 2025. She was born on January 5, 1947 in Oil City, PA., daughter of the late Lawrence and Mary Catherine (Swartfaeger Dietz) Schill.

She was employed as a nurse at Millcreek Community Hospital and at the Erie VA Medical Center.

Nancy attended St. George Catholic Church and was a member of several clubs. She enjoyed playing Bingo, cards, and going to the casino. Nancy's compassion, generosity, and enthusiasm made her friends everywhere she went. Her smile lit up a room, and her incredible laughter was contagious.

She was a proud advocate for justice.

Nancy loved her family fiercely.

In addition to her parents, Nancy was preceded in death by sisters Doris Schill, Rose Selker, Cassie Best, and brothers Donald, Lawrence, and Vincent Schill.

Nancy is survived by her only child, Jonathan Schill Sr. (Angie Eagle), 12 grandchildren, and 1 great granddaughter. She is also survived by her sisters Rita Schiffer of Franklin, PA., and Marge Wolbert of Lucinda, PA., as well as many nieces, nephews and special friends.

Her family would like to thank the amazing nurses and aides that provided care for her.

The Kloecker Funeral Home and Crematory Inc. handled the private arrangements. Send condolences to www.kloeckerfuneralhome.com.
