Deb ""Nannan" Napier

Deb “Nannan” Napier, age 70 of Grove City, passed away Tuesday, June 20, 2023 at her residence. Deb was born in Lock Haven, PA to the late Benjamin Roland and Helen Joanne (Peasley) Ferree. Deb enjoyed spending time at the beach and on her porch swing, her pool and hosting parties and preparing wonderful food for the parties. She also enjoyed all types of dancing, was an avid baker, and was an accomplished shopper on Amazon. Nannan loved her family and friends very much and loved spending time with them. She was family oriented. She had a nurturing and comforting spirit with anyone who crossed her path. In addition to her parents, Nannan is preceded in death by her son Johnny Napier; step-daughter Debbie Robinson; and sisters Lori Coleman and Kimberly Ferree. Nannan is survived by her loving husband of 49 years, James David Napier; children Shelli (John) Lind and Scott (Tracey) Napier; 13 grandchildren; 5 great-grandchildren; siblings Linda (John) Cunningham, Ben (Vivian) Ferree, Lisa (Mark) McCollough (like a daughter), Carey Ferree, Curt (Mary) Ferree, and Tammy Ferree; and many nieces and nephews and dear friends. It would be wrong to say that Nannan lost her battle because she never stopped fighting. No matter how sick she was, she was always determined. Just because she is no longer here, it doesn’t mean she lost her fight. Please join us for a Celebration of Nannan's Life that will be held 2-6 PM Saturday, August 19, 2023 at Tavern 62 9250 U.S. Route 62 Orient, OH 43146. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Nannan’s name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at stjude.org/donate.
