Nancy Powell

Nancy Lee Powell, age 81, of Stone Creek passed away peacefully into the arms of her Lord and Savior, the Resurrected King, on Friday, November 20, 2020 at Union Hospital.

She was born in Newcomerstown on May 29, 1939, to the late Dale and Viola Adams. She was a graduate of West Lafayette High School where she enjoyed being the drum majorette and a cheerleader. She then worked many years at Bank One Dover and then at Production Credit as a loan officer. On June 24, 1957—63 years ago—she married John Thomas Powell, and together they had 3 children. She was a member of the Bakersville Church for many years, where she served as Youth Leader and taught Sunday School to two generations. Her passion for the youth to come to know Jesus as their Savior led her to start and hold for years—“Teen Thing”—a weekly Bible study for all the surrounding Bakersville teens.

Nancy was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She loved and gave her all to everyone who knew her and she never failed to remind us no matter the weather that “it’s a beautiful day.”

Nancy is survived by her husband and children, John “Tom” (Sharon) Powell of Portage, MI; Laura Lee (Jay) Miller of Stone Creek; Timothy A. (Traci) Powell of Green Springs, OH; 7 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren with another on the way. She is also survived by her brother Bob (Peg) Adams, and sister Fran (Dale) Swank of Dayton, OH.

Along with her parents, she is preceded in death by her brother Daniel Adams.

A private family graveside will take place at the Coshocton County Memory Gardens.

“If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 10: 9-13
