In Memory Of
Nancy Ann DeCoursey
1944 - 2019

Nancy Ann DeCoursey, 74, of Barberton, passed away on February 1, 2019 with family by her side. Nancy had many careers, but her favorites were working as a travel agent for AAA in Barberton and her work as a parking attendant at Summa Barberton. She was very creative and enjoyed scrapbooking and making cards. She loved all Ohio sports teams, particularly the Cavs. She will always be LeBron James' number one fan. She traveled extensively and had fond memories of her trips to Washington and Alaska. Nancy was loved by everyone she met and will be truly missed. She was preceded in death by her parents, Jess and Irma Sykes; siblings, Ronnie Sykes and Kathryn Evans; and her cat, Princess as well as her dog, Annie. She is survived by her sons, Don (Lisa) Johnston and Dale (Cheree Hunt) Johnston; sisters, Sandy (Dave) Adams and Brenda Willis; grandchildren, Michael (Kate), Brian, Donald and Lacie Johnston, Jake and Jeremiah (Jessica) Workman; great-grandchildren, Devon and Delaney Workman, Ryker and Bentley Johnston, and Kash Johnston who is expected to arrive any day; several nieces, nephews, many special friends; and her cat, Bella. Per Nancy's wishes, cremation will take place and private services will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in memory of Nancy may be made to One Of A Kind Pets.
