Nancy A. Padilla, 93, of Rantoul, passed away Saturday, August 30, 2025, at home surrounded by her family.
Nancy was born March 22, 1932, to T. Earl and Vera Stephens (McClellan). She married Charles A. Padilla on July 29, 1951, in Chicago, IL. Together, they had five children: Charles S. Padilla of Delaware, William Padilla (Tammy) of Monticello, Lynn Brownfield (Brian), Richard Padilla (Donna), and Michael Padilla (Shawn), all of Rantoul. They were blessed with eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
Nancy was a housewife for many years. Once her children were grown, she went to work at Eagle Bank in Rantoul (now Busey Bank), which was a huge step for her, not having worked outside her home for many, many years.
She was the heart of our family, always loving, kind, and had the patience of a saint.
Nancy was preceded in death by her husband and one son.
