Nancy Finfrock Obituary
July 17, 1939 - April 25, 2025
It is with deep sadness that Nancy J. Finfrock (Yarish) passed away on Friday, April 25th, 2025. Nancy was a devoted wife, wonderful mother, amazing sister, loyal friend, and will be remembered as a strong, kind, caring and gentle loving woman. She was unique and special in her own way. She will be missed by her family, friends and all who were fortunate to know her for her quick wit and sense of humor. Nancy enjoyed shopping, going to the Casino, talking to people she met along the way and just enjoyed life. Her family was her greatest joy!
Nancy is survived by step-daughter, Holly (Finfrock) Connor; husband, Jim, but Nancy always introduced Holly as her daughter; sisters, Judy Holop and Joyce Kopinsky; sister-in-law, Ann Yarish; step-sons, Timothy Finfrock and Donald Finfrock (Kathy); step-granddaughter, Jaymie Connor; step-grandson, Ryan Briscoe (Lindsay); and step-great-granddaughter, Alexis Briscoe; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and faithful dog, Chance.
Nancy was preceded in death by her loving husband, Donald E. Finfrock; son, Michael Darr; parents, Steve and Anna Yarish; step-mother, Freda Yarish; brothers, William (Bill) Yarish, Donald Yarish and Jack Yarish; sisters, Florence Yarish (who died in infancy) and Jean Hall; sisters-in-law, Joan Yarish and Nancy Yarish; brothers-in-law, Joe Kopinsky, Albert Holop, Roger Hall; and step-son, Billy Finfrock.
Nancy graciously donated her body to MedCure, to support medical science.
There will be no memorial service or funeral.

Still missing you, my dear sister, even after all these months. I'm in the process of putting pictures I brought back from your house into an album so that everyone can see how beautiful you were, how much you laughed, enjoyed life and how close you were with all of our family, I found a booklet of things our family members wrote for your 50th B.D. ... OMG, many are sooo funny ... but all true. You definitely were a character but one that everyone loved. Joyce is loving her new place and has had Chance for a while now since I had surgery, but I hope to bring Chance back to my house the end of April. Joyce & I are planning a Celebration of Life Luncheon in your honor on April 25th ... the 1 year anniversary of your passing. It will be an honor to have the luncheon for you, but it will also be a sad day because you won't be there with us. I hope you've found some of our family, your dear Michael and Don, and My Al + some of friends in heaven. Remember when I brought an album for you to look at while you were in the hospital and you said ... "I don't want to look at these pictures as I'll see them in heaven". I sure hope you've seen all of our loved ones. Things are so quiet now at my house because you're not here for me to talk to. I know you're in a much better place but hoping you're looking down on all the people that love and miss you! Love you, my dear, sweet sister!

Sure miss you, my dear sister. Miss seeing you & miss talking to you every day. It's still hard for me to process that you are gone. I tell Chance every day how much you loved him. He's just so sweet and is a good boy. It's harder for both him and me now because of it being so cold + snow. I'm sure he misses the ride you took both he and Sasha + getting a hamburger every day. I tell him you're watching him from heaven. I know you're out of pain now and in a much better place ... but missing you is still hard. In looking at so many pics of you, you were really beautiful and always looked so beautiful.
Love you much, my beautiful sis.

It was always a pleasure to see Nancy everyday when we worked together. She was always upbeat no matter what. I have many happy memories of her. My thoughts are with her family as they must feel a great loss.

Remembering my dear sister, Nancy ... someone I talked to and laughed with every day. I will forever miss you but am thankful you're at peace now and not suffering any longer. You definitely were "one of a kind" but all who knew you loved you and were happy to be around you. You always looked "picture perfect" with hair done, nicely dressed and ready to go shopping or to the casino. Rest in heaven, sis, with your dear son, Michael, family and friends. I'm sure if you're playing cards, My Al will be asking "is Nancy winning"? You're already missed so much, sis, but will be loved forever. Love, sister, Judy
