She spent the remaining 25 years of her life in South Yarmouth with her longtime companion Jack Kaskon and raising her granddaughter, Chelsi Blue. They enjoyed packing up and heading to the beach, soaking up the Cape Cod rays. She was born with a green thumb which showed in her garden that she took great pride in perfecting over the years. She will be remembered for her pink house with the exquisite garden. A private service will be held. Donations may be made to Hospice.

I only knew Nancy for a short time, but loved her the minute I met her. I loved her sense of humor, and how she told you just how she felt about things. I sincerely wish I had had the opportunity to spend more time talking with her about "the old days".She was a very brave lady.
God Bless You All,
Especially Miss Chelsi,
Love,Donna
