Nancy Vaden

Nancy Bidinger Vaden of Hendersonville, Tennessee died July 18, 2024 after a short illness.

Originally from Ohio, Nancy graduated from Elyria High School in 1967 and received a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Kent State University. She then went on to earn two master’s degrees: one in social work and the other in counseling from the Middle Tennessee State University.

She had a heart for those less fortunate and always had a rescued cat.

In recent years she served on the board of 50 Forward and was on the women’s auxiliary of the V.F.W. She also enjoyed the Red Hat Society.

Nancy was very active in A.A., Joy Fellowship, and Bethel Church of the Nazarene. She was happiest when sober and engaged with her many friends from these activities. 

A visitation will be Tuesday, July 23, 2024 at Bethel Church of the Nazarene 455 Broadmoor Drive Nashville at 10:00 a.m. with a Celebration of Life at 11:00 a.m. and lunch following.

In lieu of flowers, please donate in her honor to Bethel Church of the Nazarene or your favorite animal shelter.
