Nancy Scott McCabe (f/k/a Agor), age 71, died on May 26, 2010 at her home in Granbury, Texas. She had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Mrs. McCabe was born in Attleboro, Mass. on July 6, 1938, a daughter of the late Edward and Katherine Scott. She graduated from Attleboro High School in 1956, and from Wells College in 1960. She married John Agor in 1961, with whom she had three children, Lt. Col.

In 1984, she married Daniel L. McCabe, who died in 2007. Mrs. McCabe is also survived by her sister, Elinor Scott Abbe, of Meriden, and 6 grandchildren. Mrs. McCabe was engaged in a variety of pursuits during her life, most notably as a real estate agent in the Danbury, region, and in the print media and advertising business in Westchester County, N.Y. She was an avid gardener and a voracious reader. She was a former president and active member of the Lake Mahopac Garden Club, and also served as president of the board of the Mahopac Public Library. She was enchanted by the Caribbean, and maintained a home on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts for many years, where she has requested that her ashes be scattered. She will be missed. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Wells College, and sent to Advancement Office, 170 Main Street, Aurora, NY 13026. Wiley Funeral Home, Granbury, TX (817) 573-3000.

I met Nancy in St. Kitts in the early 1990's and we became instant friends. We shared many laughs and had great fun combing the beaches for yet another perfect shell. It is truly fitting that her ashes be scattered in St. Kitts. To her family, I extend my sincere sympathy. I never met any of you personally but heard much about you as Nancy spoke lovingly of you often.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Nancy's family. Nancy was a lovely person and a great realtor. She was instumental in helping us maintain our sanity when we moved from the Upper East Side to Danbury in 1988. She had the patience of a saint! May she rest in peace and I will never forget her. She leaves only good memories behind. Thanks for everything Nancy!
