Nancy Jane (White) Kauffman, 91, of Waverly, passed away on Saturday, August 21, 2021 at Bristol Village, following an extended illness.
She was born August 24, 1929 in Wooster, Ohio, daughter of the late Percy and Celma (Beam) White. On June 8, 1951, she married the love of her life, Bruce R. Kauffman, and together they shared over 61 years of marriage before his passing July 29, 2012.
Surviving are their two children, Greg (Sheri) Kauffman, and Linda (John) Anadale; three grandchildren, Daniel (Heidi) Kauffman, Sarah (Corey) Johnson, and Johnny Anadale; she was known as greatest-grandma to Camden, Savannah, Austin, Aria, and Selaina; and is also survived by numerous cousins, extended family members, and her beloved cat, Tommy. In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by a great-grandson, Carter, and her brother, Donn Lee White.
Nancy grew up on the family farm located in Wooster, Ohio with her parents and brother. She went on to graduate high school, and later college with her B.A. degree before marrying her best friend. She spent time teaching elementary school, but much of her life was devoted to raising her family. She was also a Cub Scout Leader and an Explorer Scout. In November of 1956, she joined the Philanthropic Educational Organization (PEO) and has been a member ever since. She loved reading, sewing, and playing bridge in her free time. But one of her favorite things to do was create new crafts, and she also enjoyed teaching a craft class at Bristol Village in her spare time.
In accordance with her wishes, private cremation services will take place. There will be no public services at this time.
