Nancy Huff Obituary (1972 - 2026)

Nancy R. (Siekman) Huff, born October 28, 1972, peacefully went home to be with her Savior, Jesus Christ, surrounded by the love of her family. While her passing leaves an enormous hole in the hearts of those who loved her, we are grateful that she is finally free from pain, sickness, and suffering, fully healed and at peace in the presence of the Lord she loved so deeply. Nancy grew up in Beavercreek, Ohio and graduated from Beavercreek High School. She attended Ball State University and later graduated from Wright State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Special Education. She loved children from the very beginning, and that love shaped nearly every part of her life. Nancy was the devoted wife of Steven R. Huff, Jr. for 29 years. Together they built a life centered on faith, love, family, and serving others. Their 30th wedding anniversary would have been June 29. Of all the roles Nancy held in life, being a wife, mom, and Mimi was what mattered most to her. Her family was always her top priority. She worked hard to make her home a place of peace, joy, laughter, safety, and love. She is lovingly remembered by her four children: Grace-Elizabeth (Moises Monroy) and their son Levi; Gabriel; Emmaliese; and John-Allen. Nancy was deeply invested in her children’s lives and poured herself into caring for and encouraging them every single day. Her love for children extended far beyond her own family. For ten years, Nancy and Steve served as foster parents, opening their home and hearts to 47 children. Nancy had a special compassion for children who needed extra care, stability, and love. She lived out the words of James 1:27, caring for vulnerable children with quiet faithfulness and deep compassion. Nancy is survived by her sister, Emily (Siekman) Merkle (Gregory). She was preceded in death by her parents, John Siekman and Linda (Grow) Siekman. Nancy was a devoted member of Fairhaven Church and a faithful follower of Jesus. Her faith was genuine and steady. Even through difficult health struggles and her courageous battle with cancer, Nancy continued to trust God and point others toward Him. She never wanted attention focused on herself. She wanted her life to give glory to God and for others to see Jesus through the way she lived, loved, served, and endured hardship with grace. Nancy loved outdoor adventures, camping, kayaking, gardening, raising chickens, exploring new places, cooking homemade meals from scratch, healthy living, and preserving family memories through scrapbooking. She had a smile that could light up a room, and her joy was contagious—so full of life, love, warmth, and laughter. She was a loyal friend, a thoughtful encourager, and someone who made people feel seen, welcomed, and cared for. Nancy’s life was a beautiful example of love in action. She leaves behind a legacy of faith, family, compassion, and service that will continue through the many lives she touched. Though we grieve deeply, we do not grieve without hope. We can only imagine hearing the words spoken over Nancy’s life: “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Her life was truly a life well lived. A Celebration of Life Service honoring Nancy will be held on Friday, May 29 at 11:00 AM at Fairhaven Church located at 637 E Whipp Rd., Centerville, OH 45459 A luncheon for all who attend will immediately follow the service. The family warmly invites guests to stay and share in fellowship and remembrance if they are able. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Hope For Home Ministries, a children’s home in Guatemala where Pedro and Augusto, former foster placements of Nancy and Steve, now live.
