The Passing of Nancy Storey

From Geo. H. Rohde & Son Funeral Home

Nancy Ann Storey of Cincinnati passed away January 31, 2026, at the age of 94.

Nancy was born on November 20, 1931, to the late Frank & Genevieve Moore. Nancy was the beloved wife of the late Thomas Joseph Storey for 65 years.

After attending OSU as a theater major, Nancy then spent a lifetime involvement in Cincinnati Community Theater.  She was very much involved in the Bellarmine Players, Village Players and a forever lasting contribution to the Mariemont Players which she remained on the board as an Emeritus member. Outside of theater she had a deep love of animals; especially her own pets. She is survived by loving nieces, nephews and friends.

We especially appreciate the helping hands of our Caregiver Lilian and the wonderful Hospice of Cincinnati both home care and in patient.

No visitation. Mass of Christian Burial will be at St. Mary Catholic Church, 2845 Erie Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45208 on Friday, February 6, 2026 at 11:00 AM. In lieu of Flowers, the family requests donations in Nancy Ann’s name to OAR- (Ohio Alleycat Resource) at https://ohioalleycat.org/donate/ or Hospice of Cincinnati at https://hospiceofcincinnati.org/donate/.
