Nancy Ann Seiple, 84, of Huber Heights, Ohio, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, October 22, 2026.

Born on May 2, 1942, in Toledo, Ohio, to the late Daniel and Rosene (Knight) Danford, Nancy was a loving daughter, wife, and mother who touched the lives of so many throughout her 84 years.

Nancy grew up in a home behind a feather factory. From an early age, she understood the value of hard work and education, values she carried throughout her life. Determined to build a future for herself, she pursued a career in nursing, a profession she would come to love and dedicate much of her life to.

After graduating from Central Catholic High School, Nancy attended Mercy School of Nursing, where she earned her RN in 1963 and began what would become a lifelong passion for nursing. She spent many years caring for mothers and babies as a labor and delivery nurse before returning to school to earn her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Toledo in 1989. Her dedication and hard work eventually led her to become one of the directors at Mercy Hospital. During her career at Mercy, Nancy was honored with the President’s Award in recognition of her outstanding demonstration of the hospital’s values, including excellence, human dignity, and service. Following the hospital’s closure, she continued her nursing career in various roles throughout Toledo.

One of the highlights of Nancy’s professional life was the opportunity to work alongside her son, Daniel, in his OB/GYN practice. She eventually moved to Huber Heights, where she continued working with him until she retired. Nursing was more than a career to Nancy; it was a calling. She loved her profession and took tremendous pride in the care she provided, touching the lives of countless patients and families throughout her career.

Nancy married Richard “Dick” Dilworth, and together they raised three children. Through hard work and determination, they built a life for their family, eventually purchasing a new home where summers were spent enjoying the backyard swimming pool. Nancy and Dick loved dancing together, whether at home or out on the dance floor. The music was loud, and the smiles on their faces said it all. They also shared a love of spending time in Florida. Together, they discovered Fort Myers Beach and purchased a timeshare at SeaWatch-On-the-Beach, beginning a tradition that would last for decades.

Fort Myers Beach became one of Nancy’s most treasured places. Year after year, she returned to SeaWatch, enjoying the beach, the beautiful sunsets, and simply being near the water. Countless cherished memories were made there with her family over the years.

Nancy and her second husband, Maurice “Mo” Seiple, enjoyed spending time at Brandywine Country Club, where Mo loved to golf. They loved playing cards and hosting memorable St. Patrick’s Day parties at their home, celebrating Nancy’s heritage. In her later years, Nancy shared her life with her longtime companion, David “Dave” Hesley, who shared her appreciation for the comforts of home, Florida, and the water.

Nancy was immensely proud of her Irish heritage and had the spirited personality to match. A beautiful woman, she was stubborn, opinionated, and never hesitated to tell you exactly what she thought, whether you wanted to hear it or not. Yet beneath that strong exterior was a tender side. Her love for her children was fierce, and she took great pride in their lives and accomplishments. Nancy loved to laugh, enjoyed reading, and had a fondness for bright colors, especially hot pink and purple. She appreciated a clean house, had impeccable penmanship, and loved listening to Barbara Streisand and Barry Manilow. She brought her own unmistakable personality to everything she did.

Nancy shared an especially close bond with her parents, Daniel and Rosene, whom she lovingly referred to as “my sun and my moon.” She and her mom talked nearly every day, enjoyed going to movies and playing Scrabble, and spent time together at Fort Myers Beach. As her parents grew older, Nancy cared for both of them, and not a day went by that she didn’t miss them deeply.

Throughout her 84 years, Nancy experienced the many joys and challenges that life brings. She worked hard and loved deeply. In her later years, as she faced the challenges of dementia, she was able to remain in the comfort of her own home, thanks to the love and support of her children and her longtime companion, Dave. She was always surrounded by the familiar things and people she loved.

Nancy was preceded in death by her parents, Daniel and Rosene Danford; her brother, James Danford; and her husbands, Richard “Dick” Dilworth and Maurice “Mo” Seiple.

She is survived by her three children, Daniel (Mariam) Dilworth; John (Michelle) Dilworth; and Dawn (Brandon) Strong; nine grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and her longtime companion of 14 years, Dave.

Eighty-four years is a lifetime of stories, experiences, relationships, and memories. No obituary could every capture all that Nancy was or the many lives she touched. She will be remembered for her beauty, determination, fierce love, strong spirit, and the countless memories she leaves behind.

So, in Nancy’s memory, raise a glass, share a story, turn the music up, and toast to a woman who lived, loved, and left her mark on the world.

And let us all take comfort in knowing that she is reunited with the loved ones she has missed for so long.

Daniel, John, and Dawn will plan a celebration of their mother’s life to be held in Toledo, Ohio, in the coming months. Though Nancy spent her later years in Huber Heights, Toledo was always home to her.

Arrangements are in the care of Frings & Bayliff Funeral Home, Tipp City.
