Annabell (Nicholson) Mahan

Annabell ‘Ann’ (Nicholson) Mahan, 90, of Indiana, died peacefully on Sunday, January 2, 2022 at her home.

A daughter of the late Vinton and Mary (Kopsic) Nicholson, Ann was born on June 4, 1931 in Cambria County. She graduated from Indiana Area High School in 1949, majoring in the business curriculum. Ann was very proud of her proficiency in shorthand. She worked as a secretary/accountant for several years at McCreary Tires. She also worked at various businesses in the income tax and medical areas.

Ann loved the Lord and was a member of the Christ Bible Fellowship Church in Indiana. The family is grateful to Pastor Joshua Webb for the time he spent with Ann.

Ann is survived by her husband Don, whom she married in 1953. The 68 years that they shared were filled with love, happiness and devotion to each other. In addition to her husband, Ann is survived by three daughters: Cindy Kissel (Martin) of Latrobe; Debbie Bacco (David) of Indiana; Wendy Linsenbigler (Mark) of State College; sister Mary Louise Nicholson of Indiana; granddaughter Samantha Kissel of Westlake, OH; and nephew Jim Smatlak of Punxsutawney. Ann was preceded in death by her parents; sister Betty (Nicholson) Smatlak; niece Carol Smatlak; and brother-in-law Joseph Smatlak.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Sharon Han, CRNP, of Caresalus Primary Care for her special care of Ann. They would also like to thank the Concordia-IRMC VNA and Penn Hospice.

In keeping with Ann’s wishes, there will be no visitation. A private service will be held on the day of the burial. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly suggests memorial contributions be made to Christ Bible Fellowship Church, 178 Old Rt. 119 Hwy S, Indiana, PA 15701. Robinson-Lytle-Shoemaker Funeral Home, 36 N. 7 ^th St., Indiana, PA has been entrusted with the arrangements.
