NANCY MERRILL Obituary
She was predeceased by her husband Robert, and two of her three sons, Robert Jr. (1979) and Stephen (2016). Nancy leaves her middle son, Jack Merrill, and daughter-in-law Sophie of Wilton, NH as well as daughter-in-law Lynne Shadle of Park City, UT and seven adult grandchildren: Kate Merrill Dunham and husband Mike of Concord, Jason Merrill and wife Kristen of Windham, NH, Amy Merrill Littlehale and husband Parker of Duxbury, Susie Abromeit of LA, California, Stephenie Merrill-Moschera and Hannah Merrill of Baltimore, MD, Olivia Merrill of New Jersey and eight wonderful great-grandchildren: Addison and Kaden Dunham, Stella, Ana and Tyler Merrill, Mia and Tate Littlehale, and Harlow Moschera.
Nancy was a lovely, strong and vibrant woman having graduated from Simmons College with honors in mathematics, and enjoying the majority of her life in Hingham raising her boys, and attending their sporting events, while also joining in activities with many friends and couples including multiple trips to Bermuda, dinners at Hingham Yacht Club, regular tennis and golf events, and her bridge group. She spent winters in later life with husband Bob in Naples, FL.
She spent several years as a substitute math teacher/mentor in Hingham, and later started a part-time accounting business with two of her close friends, working primarily with the Visiting Nurse Association.
A voracious reader, Nancy loved music (particularly symphony) and was an expert at needlepoint, a very attentive grandmother, and a superb putter!
She has been deeply missed by all over the past 19 years having developed Alzheimer's Disease in her early 70's and subsequently re-locating to southern New Hampshire.
There will be a Memorial Service at Hingham Congregational Church at 378 Main St. on Saturday, February 2nd at 11 AM.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to a national, or local Alzheimer's organization of choice to benefit ongoing research on this disease.

Nancy was a dear friend to my mother Fran Hall. I was saddened to hear of her passing and know that this was tough on my mother. Many condolences to her family as well as many thanks for her sincere friendship.

Condolences to the Merrill
Family. I have often thought about Nancy over the years. Nancy and Bob travelled, socialized, played Bridge and were great friends to my parents Kate and Frank Mahony. The picture you used for this remembrance is exactly how I picture her. I hope Bob and all of her friends had a cocktail party waiting for her in the great beyond!

Our best wishes to Jack, Sophie and all the family....Nancy was a great friend of my parents (Dick and Betty Goode), many memorable Hingham memories.
I also know she and my mother accomplished a lot together at the VNA and really enjoyed helping so many people. As fate would have it, I had Nancy as a teacher on many occasions and she was always amazing!!!!! Thinking of you all!
