NANCY MORRISSEY Obituary

MORRISSEY, Nancy Jane Left this world to enter into eternal rest and peace with her Lord Jesus Christ on Friday October 26, 2012. She will be sorely missed by her beloved father Joseph T. Morrissey. She also leaves behind her sister Lynsey Murray and Laura Toli of Newton along with her brothers in law Paul Murray and Richard Toli and her cherished nieces and nephew Isabel and Angela Murray, Richie and Gracie Toli as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins, all who were so much a part of Nancy's life. Nancy will be remembered for her zeal for life and compassion for others and her ability to bring a smile and laughter to every person she encountered. Her charisma and wit made others feel at ease. During Nancy's life she worked as a fitness trainer and sales representative. Recently she enjoyed working as an Aesthetician and Instructor at the Aesthetic Institute of Boston. Only just last year Nancy received her Confirmation at St. Theresa's and felt indebted to the Clergy, Staff and Parishioners along with the work of the Holy Spirit for their guidance and leading of her rededication to her Catholic Faith and the Lord Jesus Christ. A Funeral mass will be held in honor of Nancy at St. Theresa of Avila Church in West Roxbury on Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 10am. followed by a private burial.

I just found this today and am beside myself. How could someone so full of life be taken from us before their time?

Nancy never failed to make me laugh or put a smile on my face. She had a profound ability to make me feel at ease. Her zest for life and adventure was unparalleled. She will be greatly missed.

Caring, compassionate, affectionate, giving, protective and extraordinary are only a hand full of words that come to mind when I think of my friend of almost 20 years. Nancy Jane and I over the years shared our work place, crazy young life experiences, vacations, deepest thoughts and feelings, families, disagreements and many memorable, fun, loving memories.

Nancy, thank you for taking such good care of my mother and me after my father passed away. Thank you for being there whenever we needed you most.

I will never forget the times we spent together and neither will my baby girls that loved you so much, Diamante and Taylor.

Rest in peace. Love you!

Bo, Laura and Lynsey,
We are so deeply saddened by the loss of Nancy. I myself haven't seen her since she was a young girl but recently have heard stories about how she brought smiles and laughter to all who knew her. Vinnie and Dominique would swap stories about Nancy. Dominique just having recently met Nancy and formed an instant bond and friendship with her and Vinnie remembering her as a young girl growing up. Vinnie would talk of the young Nancy, while Dominique would tell stories of the grown up Nancy. She seems to have brought smiles and warmth to those of whose lives she touched.

There are never the right words to say to take away the grief and sadness you as a family are feeling, Just know that there are many people who feel your loss and sadness. Remember the good times, the laughter and the joy you all shared as a family. She is an angel now in Heaven and I am sure she is watching over all of you, guiding you through this difficult time. God Bless you and your family and please know you are in our thoughts and prayers always.
The Earle-Coppola Family-
Vinnie, Jacquie, Bobby, Dino, Deana and Dominique

I didn't know Nancy and only recently became acquainted with her father. I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. The only solace I found in losing my Mother last year was knowing that she is now with Jesus in perfect happiness and that we will one day be with Him too. I will keep Nancy and her family in my prayers.
Sincerely, Stephen-Paul;Seery
