With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Nancy McLamb, who peacefully departed this world on August 14, 2026, at the age of 84.

Nancy was born on January 16, 1942, in Hammond, Indiana, and her journey took her to a life well-lived, marked by love, resilience, and dedication. Nancy's vibrant spirit was evident from her early days as a young mother, where she worked diligently as a waitress to support her growing family. Her career path eventually led her to Davis Hospital, where she dedicated over 30 years in the dietary department. Her colleagues there were not just her coworkers but an extension of her family, sharing in her laughter and warmth.

A woman of simple joys, Nancy cherished time spent reading, working, and playing with her beloved grandchildren. Her home was a sanctuary of love, filled with the echoes of children's laughter and the gentle murmur of shared stories.
