December 12, 1942 – April 5, 2022
Nancy Ruth Brandenburg, 79, Cicero, passed away on April 5, 2022, at Millers Merry Manor in Tipton. She was born on December 12, 1942, in Indianapolis to Ralph Preston and Helen Virginia (Fischer) Martin.
She graduated from Arsenal Technical High School and Cosmetology School, both in Indianapolis. She worked for over forty years as a mental health technician at Community Hospitals.
Nancy attended Arcadia Church of the Brethren.
Leisure time would find her cooking, baking, sewing and working on craft projects. Her children and grandchildren were her pride and joy and most conversations with her friends were eventually about them. When they were young, she made matching outfits for them to wear. As her family grew, she became known as the family photographer. She loved family gatherings and always made Christmas very special for everyone.
Survivors include daughters, Lisa Sue (Kyan) Campbell of Cicero, and Helen (Antonio) Jennings of Indianapolis; a son, Edwin “Jake” Brandenburg of Cicero; brothers, Anthony Martin and Ralph Preston Martin, III; sister, Sue Morrison; grandchildren, Liza, Sarah, Isiah, Donoven, Anthony, and Alex; plus five great-grandchildren.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a sister, Virginia Colyer.
Funeral services will be held at 4 p.m. on Friday, April 15, 2022, at Arcadia Church of the Brethren, 8989 E. 266th St., Arcadia, with Pastor Ben Poole officiating. Visitation will be from 2 p.m. until time of the services.
