She and her husband Francis raised their family in North Grafton, spent their summers in Vinalhaven Maine and many winters in Florida. Closer to home Nancy was the proud matriarch of her family who will dearly miss their loving mother, “Gram” and “Great-Grandma.” She was always a woman of faith and devoted parishioner of St. Mary’s Church in North Grafton. Nancy also leaves many friends, some of whom would gather for a friendly Friday night game of Skip-O. All are welcome to gather with Nancy’s family Thursday November 17 from 3pm to 7pm at Roney Funeral Home 152 Worcester St. N. Grafton, MA 01536. Her Funeral Mass will be celebrated Friday November 18 at 10:00am at St. Mary’s Church in North Grafton. She will then be laid to rest at St. Phillip Cemetery in Grafton.
