Nancy Switzer Hohenstein

July 9, 1933 – Feb. 14, 2022

Nancy Switzer Hohenstein, 88, Waveland, passed away on Feb. 14, 2022 at home with family close by her side.

Born and raised in Linden, she was the daughter of Lawrence (Bunk) Switzer and Lillie Boller Trombley. She will now be at the euchre table once again with her dad, mom and brother Billy.

She attended Linden High School and worked several different jobs in her lifetime. Her most recent job was managing a group home in Crawfordsville for several years which she loved. She was an avid reader, Jeopardy contestant (at home), crossword puzzle solver, euchre specialist, fishing expert and Colts cheerleader who never missed a game. She loved to garden and crochet in her spare time as well. In her younger days she was a fantastic pianist and gave concerts.

Survivors include her four children, Belinda Kiger, Deborah Tarnow Nolen, Rudy (Darla) Hohenstein and Janet Hohenstein Rivers; eight grandchildren, Amy Malelo, Vicki Knuth, Belinda Hohenstein, Erin Hohenstein Weaver, Trevor Hohenstein, Meggan Rivers Hood, Eric Rivers and Emily Kay Nolen; 17 great-grandchildren; five great-great-grandchildren; a niece, nephew and several cousins.

Graveside services with the family will be held at the Linden Cemetery at a later date. Memorial donations can be made to the organization of choice.

A special thank you to Franciscan Hospice, and granddaughters Meggan Hood and Erin Weaver for helping to make Nancy more comfortable toward the end of her life.
