Bud & Jason,
I just saw the notice of Nancy's passing and I am so sorry. She was always friendly and cheerful to me and my family.

I remember when John became a member of the fire department. I hadn't moved to Connecticut yet and Nancy was kind enough to sew the patches on his uniform. Though we haven't kept in touch over the years I have thought fondly of your family and Nancy, in particular, for that deed.

Thank you all for being our friends.

It made me very sad to hear about Nancy's passing and brought back sweet memories of growing up in Woodbury in simpler times. We were classmates throughout elementary school. Running into Nancy at the First National was always a welcoming moment. In recent years I rediscovered her at Stop & Shop in Litchfield and as always was treated to her warmth and cheerfulness. It was as if no time had passed when, in fact, it was probably 25 years. That was the occasion of her 50th year with the company.

Jason, your message was very moving - you greatly honored your mother. She represented all that is good about life in a small town. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

To Nancy's family, I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Nancy for the kind and thoughtful person that she was. She was always thinking of others and she always had time to talk. I was lucky enough to work with her for 11 years at Stop in Shop in Litchfield. I am going to miss her smile and the way she could make me laugh, or just make my day brighter. Heaven has definitely acquired another angel. Love Kristen Wheeler

Don and I send our deepest sympathies to all of Nancy’s family, we are very sorry for your loss. It has been many years since I last saw Nancy, but I do remember how she would always take the time to “chit-chat” when we would meet. She was a truly caring person and will be dearly missed.

I wish to extend to you my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. Although I was not fortunate to have known her, your dad or your brother, I do know that your mother had to have been a wonderful person. I can base this observation on the time I spent working with you. Your commitment, relentless work ethic, enthusiasm and kind and good spirit was an example of your upbringing. She must have been so proud of her son when you were selected as the "All League Catcher".
It is never easy to say a final goodbye to a parent, no matter how old we are. It hurts, but we can sooth that pain with good memories. God bless you and your family.

I'm sad to hear of Nancys passing, I've known Nancy since first grade thru the next 12 years. Nancy always had a smile and a good word. She will be missed at our semi monthly dinners. My prayers go out for her husband Bud and her two sons who she loved dearly. Rest In Peace Nancy.

When Rick and I first heard "Aunt" Nancy was sick, the first thing we thought was to get in the car and go see her. Rick really wanted to thank her for everything she did for him and his siblings. They will never forget any of it. Has normal Nancy thanked us for being there, and actually said to me once you need to head home. She said she didn't want to be worried about us. We could not believe as sick as she was, her HEART was still caring, and loving as ever. When ever we were at a family event happy or sad she always greeted us with a big hug and a smile. Then she would say sit down and tell me how the boys (Ricky, Ryan and Robert) and tell me everything they are up too. She loved family with every part of her being. Rest easy Aunt Nancy, you will forever remain in our hearts. Deepest of sympathy to Bud, Kenny, Jason and his family. Love Rick, Tracey, Ricky, Ryan And Robert Lee

Nancy was one of my favorite people. Her kindness and gift of making everyone smile will certainly be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She had a fantastic way with people and to know her was to love her. She will always be in my heart.

My heart is heavy with the passing of this wonderful woman, mother, friend and community member. I will always remember Nancy in my mind and heart. My condolences to her family and friends.
I could type for a week straight with all of the positive and loving characteristics Nancy possessed. When I first joined the military, Nancy always sent me cards and correspondence during deployment. Her caring smile and conversation I will cherish forever. Let's not forget her Irish Soda Bread, it was the best I have ever tasted. Nancy made the world a better place and her life will be honored through continued love and kindness. Someone so special can never be forgotten.

With Love,

George

First I will thank my mom. Thank her for the love and support she gave me and everyone else in life. I will be forever grateful to have had you as my mom. I will work hard in life to honor you.

Now about her cancer. It had been lying dormant in her body for who knows how long. She was never in pain. I believe that this was a blessing on how this happened. This could have been a long battle that could have consumed who knows how many of her last year's. Instead I believe she was repaid for her life of giving and doing for all during her lifetime. I was with her two Sundays ago when the first Doctor even mentioned cancer. She did even flinch, asking the Dr. The impossible question is it beatable. I also admire her strength and passion on how she handled this situation. She was sure of what she wanted. I tried to convince her to go another route and as she always did talked me off the ledge and told me everything will be okay. This was what she wanted. I told her okay. Anything you want I will honor that.

I want to thank the professionals from Hartford Healthcare on behalf of my mother and entire family. They handled and oversaw my mom's hospice care which my mom requested. They were consummate professionals. They were compassionate and caring and supportive in every way to my entire family.

Now to all of our friends and family who visit this site. We appreciate your friendship and love. My mom never said this but I know she would want us to mourn her death for a small window of time. Then we are to celebrate her life with a spontaneous breakfast or lunch wherever it might be preferably with friends or family. She always loved that greasy cheeseburger at Woodbury diner but you better not forget the onions. She specifically told me before she passed to love one another. Take care of one another. So rather than writing for days I will leave you with that. Go to lunch or dinner and think of her. Help a friend or family member in need. Hold the door for a stranger. Offer assistance if needed. That would be the best way to honor her. My mom.

My family and I will look forward to reading your posts. Thank you all again.
