Nancy Murray LaBonne, 89, formerly of Manchester and Danbury, died peacefully on Sunday, September 24, 2017 at her home at Pomperaug Woods in Southbury. She was the wife of the late George "Ted" LaBonne for 63 years.
After raising her family, Nancy returned to school and graduated cum laude in 1989 from St. Joseph's College in West Hartford with a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy. She had many years of volunteer work to be proud of, with various churches and also with Ann's Place in Danbury. She was an avid reader and enjoyed traveling around the world with her husband. Card making was another one of her hobbies and many of the residents at Pomperaug Woods were the lucky recipients of her beautiful cards. She had a wonderful sense of humor and enjoyed making people laugh.
