Nancy Campagne

February 24, 1944 — June 18, 2021

Nancy Benes Campagne, age 77, passed away peacefully with family at her bedside.

Nancy was born in Erie, PA to her late parents,  Alex and Winifed Benes.   She was proceeded in death by her son, Paul Campagne and her soul mate and beloved husband, Charles Campagne.  

She is survived by her daughter, Lisa (Campagne) Winschel and son- in -law Thomas; daughter, Kimberly Campagne and her three precious grandchildren Anthony "Ziggy" Winschel, Carla (Winschel) Vicentini and her husband Nick, and Alexandria Campagne. 

She is survived by her brother, Alex Benes; sister, Paulette (Benes) Berry and husband, Tom. Brother- in- law, Doug Herbstritt.  Sadly her sister Cathy (Benes) Herbstritt passed away and her sister- in- law Barbara Benes also proceeded her in death. She has many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear lifelong friends.

Nancy was known first and foremost for being a loving wife, mother and Nana. She enjoyed nothing more than spending time with her husband,  children and grandchildren.  She was known for her amazing cooking skills and enjoyed the pleasure her food brought to everyone.   Later in life, she started painting and had real talent as an artist. Her paintings have been featured at the Lighthouse Jewelers. Many of her friends have her original paintings.  She also had a great flare for decorating and beautifully designing a room.

Nancy was also well known for being a spit fire and a go getter. She was one of the wittiest and comedically talented persons you would ever have the pleasure to meet. She was a one woman show, with impeccable timing and brilliant one liners. 

She was willing to help anyone in need and very generous to give of herself. Everyone came first in her eyes. 

Her children and grandchildren will miss her dearly as it's rare to be raised in the presence of a dynamic shooting star. She was pure light and energy.
