Nancey Jo Acree

Nancey Jo Acree passed away peacefully on Monday morning October 29 in the company of friends (including two of the four legged variety). Her health had been declining for some time. She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Josephine and Edward, as well as her sister Ann. Also waiting for her were her service dogs, E-ore and Degas. Despite the challenges of Cerebral Palsy, Nancey lived a full life. Her determination was legendary. She graduated from the University of Indianapolis with a degree in psychology and was employed at Larue Carter Hospital as a clinical testing associate for over 30 years. Nancey was an active member of Soroptimists and a very long term board member of United Cerebral Palsy of Indiana. She worked very very hard to advocate for those with disabilities. Along with E-ore and then Degas she was a dedicated ambassador for Canine Companions for Independence. Nancey loved people and she touched many lives. Visitation will be 9:00 am to 10:30 am Saturday, November 3 at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Chuch, 5692 Central Ave. Her Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 10:30. She will be laid to rest at Crown Hill Cemetery. No flowers please. Instead please consider a donation to United Cerebral Palsy (ucpaindy.org ) or Canine Companions for Independence (cci.org).
