Nancy L. Campbell, 83, of Enon Valley, formerly of Wampum passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her family on Thursday, January 21, 2021, following complications from a fall in November.

Nancy was born at Providence Hospital in Beaver Falls on October 6, 1937, to the late Charles “Chick” Higgins and Mary Salvano Higgins.

Over the years, Nancy held each office for the American Legion Auxiliary, Post 749, including past president on several occasions. She was a devout Catholic with tremendous faith. She was an active member of the Holy Redeemer parish in Ellwood City. Nancy was also very active at the former St. Monica’s parish in Wampum for many years until its closing. There she served on Parish Council, Alter and Rosary Society and Christian Mothers. She loved her family more than anything, especially her kids and grandchildren.
