Nancy K. Detwiler, 96, passed away peacefully on July 29, 2024, at the Masonic Village in Lafayette Hill.
Born on February 13, 1928, in Oaks, PA, she was the daughter of the late E. Grant and Miriam Keyser.
Married to Henry Detwiler for just shy of fifty years, they raised their four children in Trappe, PA. The home was a place where she always made friends and family feel welcome, and there was never a shortage of food to be shared at their kitchen table.
Nancy was a member of Green Tree Church of the Brethren and a lifetime member of the Order of the Eastern Star - Freeland Chapter 323.
In retirement, Nancy and Henry retired to Benson, VT. They both loved its natural beauty, and they made many lasting friendships in their small community. With Henry’s passing in 2000, Nancy remained in Vermont until 2015. While there, she was a member of the United Church of Benson.
Survivors include two sons; Donald (Barb) Detwiler of Pottstown, PA, David Detwiler of Trappe, PA, and two daughters: Elizabeth (Luke) Wagner of Grantville, PA, and Lynne (Joe) Couto of Pottstown, PA, five grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.

Interment will follow at the Green Tree Church of the Brethren Cemetery. A visitation will also be held on Saturday, September 21, 2024, from 10:00-11:00 AM at the church.
