Nancy Jo Ewart Harbarger

Nancy Ewart Harbarger, 62, of Dilliner, Pa. and formerly of Carmichaels, Pa., peacefully drifted into the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, surrounded by her family at home on Tuesday, May 18, 2021. She was born May 16, 1959 in Franklin Township, Greene County, Pa., a daughter of the late Daniel C. and Dolores M. (Myers) Ewart. Nancy was a 1977 graduate of Carmichaels Area High School. She spent her following years as a homemaker. She found joy in writing in her journals/daily planners, coloring in her adult coloring books and logging her daily activities. She was comforted and found happiness in collecting purses and blankets. When she wasn't spending time with her grandchildren, her daily past time was watching medical television shows such as Grey's Anatomy and talking on the phone. Nancy was a dedicated mother who treasured and embraced all her children. She especially loved her role as a grandmother as her grandchildren were the light of her life. Due to her health condition, Nancy had many caregivers over the years, some of whom she held near to her heart. Her battle with serious medical issues showed her courage and resilience in facing life's challenges with a smile. Despite the pain, Nancy emerged a Hero and is now our Angel.

Surviving are two sons, Paul W. Harbarger, Jr. (Stacey) of Bobtown, Pa. and Brian M. Harbarger (fiancé Jennifer Dailey) of Carmichaels, Pa.; two daughters, Amanda Lee Rockwell (Jason) of Carmichaels and Stephine Abbadini (Lucas) with whom she made her home; 11 grandchildren, Andrea Bane, Gaige Harbarger, Mya Helmick, Ethan Harbarger, Cody Helmick, Timothy Pratt, Jr., Lelan Harbarger, Kaile Harbarger, Anastasia Harbarger, Robert Abbadini, Reagan Abbadini and one additional grandchild "in the oven"; three great grandchildren; six brothers, Allen W.
