Obituary of Nancy D. Harden

Harden, Nancy D.

Saginaw, Michigan

Loving mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend passed away on Sunday, November 17, 2024, at
Optalis Health & Rehabilitation of St. Francis Home, while surrounded by family. She was 93
years old. Nancy D. Campbell was born on August 1, 1931, in Bay City, Michigan to Clifford and
Bess (Dean) Campbell. She married Jack Harden on May 16, 1953. She was a member of Holy
Spirit Catholic Church in Saginaw for many years. Nancy volunteered at St. Mary’s Hospital in
Saginaw for many years, was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary, and helped in the gift shop.
Nancy loved needlepoint, knitting, baking and was known for her fabulous cooking. From
childhood, she had a love for animals and always owned Boston Terriers. Nancy's greatest love
was always her family. She selflessly showed what it truly meant to put family first, offering
love, care, and support at every turn. Her warmth and devotion will forever be remembered,
and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
Nancy is survived by her beloved children, John (Sandy) Harden, David Harden, and Ann (Mike)
Ellis; loving grandchildren, Ryan (Becki) Harden, Adam Harden, Alexandra (Jon) Jurenka, Sarah
Harden, and Andrew, Brooke and Jacob Ellis; great grandchildren, Ryan II, Cole, and Ian
