Nancy Detillion Obituary
Nancy Detillion, 88, of Chillicothe, went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Monday, March 18, 2024, at Adena Regional Medical Center.
She was born Nov. 21, 1935, in Groveport, the daughter of Edward and Della Detty.
A 1953 graduate of Southeastern High School, Nancy worked very hard through the years to keep her classmates in touch with each other. She had jobs at Basic Construction, Sears, and Huntington National Bank before joining the staff at Chillicothe Municipal Court in 1973. She retired from her position as a court clerk in 1999.
Nancy attended Brookside Church, mostly online in recent years. She was a member of the Senior Bowling League at Shawnee Lanes and loved a good card game. But, as nearly everyone knows, her favorite pastime was playing the slots at the nearest casino. She always said "I just love to hear the sound when the reels spin."
Nancy's survivors include a son, James "Steve" (Linda) Detillion of Tiffin; daughters, Cindy Detillion and Crystal Poe, both of Chillicothe; grandchildren, Heather (Brett) Staib of Fredericksburg, Virginia, Jamie (Jill) Detillion of Jenison, Michigan, Sarah Beth Hines of Marion, Stacey Poe of Chillicothe, and Ethan Poe of Circleville; great-granddaughters, Hudson Staib and Brookelyn Staib, both of Fredericksburg, Virginia, Cambry Detillion of Jenison, Michigan, Mackenzie Hines of Marion, and Abigail Patrick of Chillicothe; great-grandsons, Brennan Staib of Fredericksburg, Virginia, Cannon Detillion and Crew Detillion, both of Jenison, Michigan, and Gage Hines of Marion; sister, Lois Preston of Reynoldsburg; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her sisters, Dot Bridenbaugh and Marilyn Keiser; brother, Jim Detty; and longtime companion, John Webb.
Nancy's funeral will be 1 p.m. Wednesday, March 27, 2024, at WARE FUNERAL HOME. Burial will follow at Floral Hills Memory Gardens. Visitation for friends and family will be 5-8 p.m. Tuesday, March 26, 2024, at the funeral home.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Brookside Church in memory of Nancy.
