Nancy Ellen MARTTILA

I had the privilege to work with Nancy as a summer intern at the State House in 1985, after my freshman year of college. She was a lot of fun. Big hearted, extremely kind, and full of laughs. Every time I saw her over the years that followed, she was always smiling - even through life's frustrations. She was truly a special person.

To Doug and Katy, I knew your Mum as a parent at the Beacon Hill Nursey School-I was Katy´s teacher- and we always maintained a (dare I say) friendship. I saw her occasionally around the hill and when I retired she and Betsy Whitters took me out for lunch. A very kind gesture. I admired her so and her laugh was infectious. I am so sorry and send many condolences. Best, Priscilla Fales

I enjoyed getting to know Nancy at Old South Church and through yoga classes at the Clubs at Charles River Park. She was a friendly and interesting woman, and I will miss seeing her.

I´ve known Nancy since she was a little girl through school and Girl Scouts and her occasional visits back to MI. There was never a moment when she wasn´t lovely.
