June 28, 1936 - March 11, 2015 

GRANGER - Nancy (Bock) Badgero, 78, of Granger, IN, passed away peacefully on March 11, 2015, while surrounded by her loving family.

Nancy was born in Mishawaka, IN, on June 28, 1936, to the late Oscar Dane Bock and Helen Aileen (Clement) Bock, and lived most of her life in the Granger and South Bend, IN, area. On April 27, 1957, Nancy was united in marriage to George D. Badgero in South Bend at Sunnyside Presbyterian Church.

Nancy is survived by her loving husband, George; three children: Dane P. (Kim) of Granger, Kirk D. (Donna) of Ruskin, FL, and Rochelle "Shelly" Dallich (Dave) of Granger. She is also survived by a sister, Susan Bock of Carmel, IN, and two brothers, John H. (Patricia) Bock of El Paso, TX, and James A. (Linda) of Mason, OH. Also surviving Nancy are six grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, along with several other family members including an aunt, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Nancy's biggest enjoyment was spending time with her family. She loved the Spring and Summer seasons as she enjoyed being outdoors. She loved flowers, dogwood trees, and taking trips to Baldwin, MI. She was extremely selfless as she always tried to please others as opposed to pleasing herself. She loved to bake and graciously shared all of her "goodies" with neighbors, friends, and family. Nancy also loved to brighten countless people's days by sending Hallmark cards at the most opportune times.

Nancy graduated from John Adams High School in South Bend, in the Class of 1954 and then attended Ball State University in Muncie, IN. She attended and was an active member at Sunnyside Presbyterian Church where she taught Sunday school for several years.

Nancy will be extremely missed by those who called her wife, Mom, niece, Grandma, Mossy, Pucka, sister, cousin, and friend.
