Very sorry to have to miss the funeral of a very nice lady. Just a few weeks ago, at Tower Hill Church, she sat in front of us, accompanied by her male friend, who unexpectedly came to be helpful to her. Instead, HE had what appeared to be a seizure, and was removed by the EMS. Rest in Peace, Nancy.

Nancy Dexter was truly one in a million. Her great sense of humor and joie de vivre always made her a pleasure to be with. I was fortunate to live next door to Nancy in her darling home in Fair Haven -- I will always treasure all the laughs we shared everyday.
Nancy was a wonderful, loyal friend to all of the Dalys for many years...she will be truly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, all of whom she loved so very much.
