Ann "Nancy" B. Pritchett (nee Schoeffling), age 77, of Runnemede, formerly of Mt. Laurel, NJ, passed away at home on September 21, 2021, surrounded by her loving family after a courageous battle with cancer.

She was preceded in death by five siblings: Peggy Martin, Richard Schoeffling, Tom Schoeffling, Louis Schoeffling, and Fred Schoeffling.

Nancy was born on January 7, 1944 and was raised in Philadelphia and Collingswood. She worked for Bell Telephone as an information operator/trainer and was later employed by Acme Markets. Nancy enjoyed dancing, bowling, traveling, playing with her grand dogs, watching game shows, playing card games and getting together with friends. She was also a huge Eagles fan and spent many a Sunday afternoon cheering on her favorite sports team! Her greatest joy; however, was her family. She absolutely loved being a mom and grandmother and frequently babysat for her 6 grandchildren over the past 20 years. Her famous mashed sweet potatoes were often fought over at family dinners. Nancy was the light in the lives of so many with her warmth, optimism, kindness and sense of humor and will be missed dearly.
There will be a visitation on September 28 from 11:00am to 12:30pm at GARDNER FUNERAL HOME, RUNNEMEDE.
Funeral service will take place at 12:30pm at the funeral home.

Tributes
"Nancy was a very nice lady, always willing to help her neighbors at Runsen House. Rest In Peace and God Bless her family during this sad time."
"A beautiful person inside and out gone too soon. Will truly be missed????"
"I am so grateful that in recent years we made regular phone calls to each other to catch up. I always had a more positive outlook on life after a conversation with Aunt Nancy. Her quick wit and laughter was infectious even over the phone. She shared many stories of her adventures with the residents at Runsen House and I know she was happy to help those that needed her. Most of all she loved keeping me posted on her children and grandchildren. It was clear that they were her light and that she was proud of all of her family. I will miss her and our conversations and heed her advice to " let it roll off your back". "
"Closest thing to an angel that we will ever find. Her friendships were deep and lasting and the many favors she did for the people in Runsen House will be remembered for a very long time. Nancy had a big, loving heart andf fought the battle of a giant during her illness. How wonderful to have known her!"
