Nancy Mae Ritter

 77, of Brownsburg, passed away on February 19, 2024 at IU West Hospital in Avon. Nancy was born on February 5, 1947 in Indianapolis, Indiana to the late Oren Wheeler and Luella (Miles) Wheeler.

Nancy was a proud 1965 graduate of Mooresville High School. Nancy enjoyed visiting and entertaining family, friends, and neighbors while sipping on the occasional margarita around her swimming pool.

She will be remembered for her carefree, sweet, caring and kind personality, who didn’t know a stranger.
