Nancy Lois (Young) Roscoe, 69, of Lancaster, Ohio, passed away on July 12, 2022.
Nancy was born at St. Ann’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio on July 11, 1953, to Wesley Clay Young and Sally Lou (Bralley) Young. She attended Lancaster High School and went on to operate a boarding house for homeless Veterans for many years. She ended her career by serving her country for two terms as an AmeriCorps VISTA member and working for several years in management for a statewide nonprofit organization.
Nancy was a devoted mother and Nana who loved making holidays and birthdays truly special occasions. She was a kind compassionate person who cared more for the needs of others than her own.
