Nancy K. Hedinger, age 83, of Jasper, Indiana passed away surrounded by family at 10:57 p.m. on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at Scenic Hills at the Monastery in Ferdinand, Indiana.
Born in Jasper, Indiana on November 7, 1942, to Edmund and Mercedes (Giesler) Brosmer, Nancy spent her life rooted in faith, family, and serving others. She married Richard L. Hedinger on August 28, 1965, at Holy Family Catholic Church in Jasper. He preceded her in death on February 18, 1985, following 19 years of marriage and a courageous battle with cancer.
Nancy was a graduate of Holy Family Catholic School and Jasper High School. Prior to her husband’s passing, she helped him run their family business, Hedinger’s Appliance and Television on Main Street in Jasper. She continued her career at Kimball Electronics and Jasper Engines, where she eventually retired.
A devoted member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Nancy served on the bereavement committee, volunteered at the church picnic, participated in Christ Renews His Parish, administered Holy Communion to nursing homes, and spent countless hours talking with Jesus. She was also a member of the St. Ann’s Society. Her faith was her foundation, and she stood firm on Psalm 121: “I lift my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”
Nancy lived a life marked by faith, grace, resilience, and unwavering love. She was the heart of her family—always putting others before herself, offering comfort with a smile, creating a welcoming presence, and showing quiet strength in the face of life’s challenges. Her home was a sanctuary, filled with warmth, delicious meals, laughter, and the kind of love that made everyone feel like family.
She found joy in in the simple things: family gatherings, a well-tended home, cooking, country music, spiritual retreats, and treasured one-on-one time with each of her grandchildren—often shared over ice cream and heartfelt conversation. Nancy had a remarkable gift for making each person feel truly special, ensuring no one ever felt left out. Her nurturing presence made you feel seen, valued, and deeply loved.
Her joyful spirit and generous nature touched everyone she met. Though she never sought the spotlight, her light shone brightly in the lives of all who knew her.
