Nancy L. Kinker's Obituary
Nancy L. Kinker, age 79 of Pickerington, Ohio and formerly of Batesville, died Saturday, February 7, 2015 at Mother Angeline McCrory Manor Rehabilitation Center in Pickerington. Born January 18, 1936 in Batesville, she is the daughter of Edith (Nee: Tangman) and Clarence Siebert. She married Paul Kinker August 10, 1957 at St. John's Church in Enochsburg, Indiana. She was a member of St. Louis Church and worked as an administrative clerk 18 years for the City of Sharonville Ohio before retiring in 1996.
Nancy was a real people person. Never one to know a stranger, she would strike up a conversation with anyone and had a wonderful, witty dry sense of humor. She and Paul enjoyed traveling. Usually trips were for a week or two and would combine their love of the beach and southern historical cities. Charleston, South Carolina was always a favorite destination. Other interests included reading, the History Channel and antiquing, although her daughter teased that mom had two passions - "shopping and collecting jewelry." In later years when Nancy couldn't get around as easily, she discovered QVC and the joy of shopping from home. A lover of animals, she enjoyed feeding her birds and was especially fond of cats.
She is survived by her husband Paul; daughter Stephanie Pearce of Pickerington, Ohio; son Samuel Kinker of Barbersville, West Virginia; granddaughters Hannah Clark, Leah Kinker, Rachel Pearce; grandsons Nathan and Seth Kinker, Alexander Pearce and great granddaughter Ella Kinker. She is preceded in death by her parents.
It was Nancy's wishes to be cremated. The family will receive friends from Noon until 1 p.m. on Wednesday February 11th at St. Louis Church. A memorial service follows at 1 p.m. with Rev. Stan Pondo officiating. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to Phi Beta Psi Sorority Cancer Research.
