Loudon, NH — Nancy Ellen Pethic passed away peacefully on January 9, 2022, in Epsom, New Hampshire, following declining health.
Born to Hersey and Lucy Cooke in Nashua, NH in 1930, she attended local schools in Hudson and Nashua, before graduating from Nashua High School in 1948. Nancy was predeceased by her husband, Willis Pethic; son, Bruce Pethic; two sisters, Harriett Alukonis and Cynthia Jordan; and one brother, Hersey "Ed" Cooke.

In 1951, they moved to Pittsfield, NH and along with their parents, Everett and Helen Pethic purchased the Pittsfield Food Locker Plant. After several years, they incorporated the business, which became Rich Plan of Northern New England.
Bill and Nancy retired to Port St. Lucie, FL, where they enjoyed playing golf and having fun with friends. Nancy continued to avidly play golf in Florida until her return to NH in 2019. She always enjoyed sailing with Bill on Lake Winnipesaukee, toll painting, making crafts. She was an active member of the Pittsfield Firemen Women's Auxiliary and the Women of Rotary for many years.

So many memories and stories of growing up beside the Pethic family. It's comforting to know that neighborhood is slowly reuniting again after many years of going in different directions. We had the best!
