Nora Bartel Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Flowers-Leedy & Allen Funeral Homes - Peru on Jan. 14, 2026.
Jody (Nora) Bartel passed away unexpectedly on January 3rd, in the presence of her loving husband, Tony (Anthony) Bartel.

Jody was an extraordinary wife and a devoted mother whose life was defined by love, selflessness, and unwavering dedication to her family. She carried her roles with grace, strength, and a deep sense of compassion that touched everyone who knew her.

She is lovingly survived by her husband, Tony (Anthony) Bartel, and her cherished children, Kristen Estep, Kaytlynn Bartel, and Tanesha Estep. To her family, Jody was a constant source of comfort, guidance, and unconditional love. Her presence was a blessing, and her absence leaves a profound void.

Jody's legacy lives on through the family she treasured and the countless lives she touched through her kindness and devotion. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

A private ceremony, surrounded by those closest to her, will be held in her honor.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Flowers-Leedy Funeral Home. Family and friends may sign the online guestbook at www.FlowersLeedyAllen.com.
