Groton - Nancy Blanchard Marr, 4, of 110 Pamela Ave., Groton, died at home on Thursday, Oct. 25, 2012, from the complications of croup, passing away from us and into the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nancy was born in New London on Dec. 10, 2007, the youngest daughter of Christopher T. and Patricia (McCarthy) Marr. We welcomed our Down Syndrome daughter as a gift of God and she delighted us all with her beautiful smile and, attention-getting "conversation", holding her own among her 10 home schooled siblings.
Besides her parents, she is survived by her brothers, Brian of Moscow, Idaho, Kevin, and Gordon; and her sisters, Michelle, Sharon, Emily, Laura, Julie, Tracy, and Vienna. She is also survived by her paternal grandparents, Harold and Diane (Blanchard) Marr of Kendall Park, N.J.; and her maternal grandparents, James and Louise (O'Donnell) McCarthy of Queensbury, N.Y.; as well as many loving aunts, uncles and cousins.
Visiting hours will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2, at the Byles-Groton Memorial Home, 310 Thames St. A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, in the Presbyterian Church of Coventry, 55 Trowbridge Road, Coventry. Interment will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10, in Elmwood Cemetery, Searsport, Maine.
Donations in her memory may be directed to the Pregnancy Support Center, 770 Long Hill Road, Groton, CT 06340.
