Nance Ann Roth

Nance, affectionately known as “Britches,” loved the outdoors. She enjoyed boating, fishing, water skiing and mushroom hunting. She also liked traveling, riding motorcycles, painting, and helping those she cared for. She was a faithful member of St. Peters United Church of Christ in Granite City, IL. Nance was an immaculate housekeeper, she loved to cook and spend time with her family, whom she loved more than anything.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Raymond Mank and Cleadeth Mank (nee Albegg); her beloved husband of 62 years, Robert “Bob” Roth; her son, Jeffrey Roth; and her brother, Ray Mank.

Surviving to cherish her memory are her loving children, Scott (Rebecca) Roth and Dawn (Cassy Hackworth) Roth; daughter-in-law, Linda Roth; grandchildren, Tiffany (Matt) Werner, Dustin (Jessica Dover) Roth, Jared, Lucas and Matthew Roth; great-grandchildren, Riley, Mason, Tucker, Olivia, Hunter and Ezekeyel; sister, Shirley Dennis (nee Mank); best friend and caretaker (who made sure mom was always washed and waxed), Aprella Bridges; and dear friend, Bill Hackworth.

Nance was a generous, supportive and forgiving woman; she will be fondly remembered and dearly missed by all who knew her.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are appreciated to Habitat for Humanity, which was one of Nance and Bob’s favorite places to volunteer. https://www.habitat.org/support

Due to COVID concerns the family will be having a private funeral service at Valhalla Gaerdner Holten Funeral Home in Belleville, IL. She will be laid to rest at the mausoleum at Valhalla Gardens of Memory in Belleville, IL.
