Nancy M. Whitmire, age 93, of Stevens Point, WI, died peacefully on August 30, 2025.
She was born to the late Frank and Nancy (Hoch) Staffan in Ann Arbor, MI on August 15, 1932.
Nancy attended the local grade schools and graduated high school in Chelsea, MI. She went on to explore a degree in English and graduated from the University of Michigan.
In 1954, Nancy married Robert S. Whitmire in Ann Arbor, MI. The couple eventually moved to the Stevens Point area in 1957 where they began a family. Nancy devoted her life to her home and family while Robert became a full-time faculty at UWSP. Nancy also remained immersed within university life, events, and outreach. She especially enjoyed volunteering for the Festival of Arts, and any other worthy cause. Nancy will be remembered for her loving persona. She had a quick wit and was extremely detailed orientated. Her supportive nature was second to none. In her spare time, she enjoyed reading, attending community functions, biking, traveling abroad, listening to the city band, and cheering on Michigan football. She also enjoyed the company of her four-legged friend which always seemed to be Springer Spaniels. Her family was extremely important to her, and she always cherished the time spent together.
Survivors include her son, Robert Whitmire Jr.; grandchildren, Rebecca (Dustin) Wiza, Sean (Billie Hertz) Mudgett, Jamie Madden, Carmen Madden, Kyle (Ben Brackett) Madden, Cameron Whitmire, and Andrew (Ashlee) Whitmire; great-grandchildren, Dakota (Bridget), Cheyanne, Evan, and Autumn; and great-great-grandchildren, Jaxon, Kennedy, and Natalie. She is preceded in death by her husband, Robert; and daughter, Marna.
A family burial service will be held at Restlawn Memorial Park Cemetery.
