Nancy L. Kesselring

Born in Columbus, Ohio to the late Norman and Nellie Edwards, Nancy was a graduate of Holy Rosary High School and Mt. Carmel School of Nursing.

Her strength showed after her husband Bill died unexpectedly in 1991 as she continued to raise her two youngest children, Kyle and Kelli. Nancy was a parishioner of St. Brigid of Kildare Church and was an active member and past secretary of the 55+ Club. She found great support among her many friends in the Special Olympics community. Nancy was a proud mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and Ohio State football fan.

In addition to her parents, Nancy was preceded in death by her brother Norman Edwards, sister Mary Ellen Callahan, her beloved husband William “Bill” Kesselring, her children Kathy MacAlpine, Kyle Kesselring, Kelli Kesselring, and her grandson Tyler MacAlpine.
