Nancy J. Bannon, 80, passed away Wednesday morning in Miller’s Merry Manor following an unexpected illness. Nancy cared for the community of Plymouth many years as a registered nurse with the St. Joseph Regional Medical Center.

Nancy’s life began on the south side of Chicago, November 24, 1934, the daughter of Oscar and Mae (Kammeraad) Gullans. She graduated from Fenger High School and later the South Bend Memorial School of Nursing.

On June 21, 1954 in Chicago, she became the bride of James M. Campbell. The young couple moved to the small southern Illinois community of Neoga where Jim became pastor of the Presbyterian Church. There they would welcome first born Deborah J. They soon found their way to Croswell, Michigan and the family grew to include Teresa L. and James R. They arrived in Plymouth in 1962 and it quickly became home.

Nancy was involved in the lives of her children and became active in the Blue Bird and Camp Fire Girls organization as a group leader and then director helping shape many young lives teaching the motto of Work, Health and Love.

She was active in the Plymouth First Presbyterian Church, the American Red Cross, Order of the Eastern Star – Chapter 26 and P.E.O. Nancy enjoyed time spent singing in the Marshall County Women’s Chorus – Melody Makers.
