It is with profound sadness that we announce that Nancy A (Davis) Waltermire of North Adams passed away on September 9, 2025. Nancy was born on August 20 1938 to James and Lorraine (Wright) Davis. She attended schools in North Adams and graduated from Drury High School in the class of 1956. In 1958, Nancy married the late Robert D Waltermire and they remained together until his passing in 2023.

Nancy was a long-time secretary for many law offices in the area, but she was most proud of and well-remembered for serving the Northern Berkshire Community as the Operator of The Skate Shop at the Veterans Memorial Rink in North Adams. She took great pleasure in supporting the various groups that utilized this ice facility from it's opening in the late 1960s until she retired in 2012.

Nancy was a member of Naomi Chapter 17 Order of the Eastern Star for more than fifty years where she was a Past Worthy Matron as well as a Past Deputy Grand Matron. She also served as Mother Advisor for the International Order of Rainbow Girls Assembly #43 also a Past Deputy Grand Mother Advisor to the Massachusetts Grand Assembly of the International Order of Rainbow Girls. Nancy was a Past High Priestess of Helma Court #64 of the Ladies' Oriental Shrine of North America and a long-time member of the Ahlem Temple #84 of the Daughters'of the Nile. Nancy and Bob were both long-time volunteers and supporter of the annual Melha Shriners circus at the Big E every May.

Nancy is survived by her five children; Myra Wilk (Bud Green) of Adams, Martha Storey of Royal Palm Beach FL, James (Lisa) Waltermire of Adams, David (Lynn) Waltermire of Adams, and Karl Waltermire of North Adams. Nancy leaves behind her eight grandchildren; Kathryn (Corey) Gillis and John (Ann Scott) Wilk, Nicholas (Sarah) Waltermire and Celia (Brad) Botto, Jenna Waltermire and Matthew (Annie) Waltermire, Joseph Storey, and Caroline Waltermire. Nancy was also blessed with three greatgrandchildren, Connor Gillis, Ayden Waltermire, and Remi Waltermire. She also leaves behind her sister Carol A (Francis) Morandi of North Adams, her nephew Francis (Rachel) Morandi of Bellingham, and her great niece Elizabeth Morandi. She was pre-deceased by her son-in-law Thomas Storey.

The Waltermire family would like extend a thank you to the Doctors, Nurses, and staff at North Adams Regional Hospital Medical Unit for the excellent care, compassion, and support they showed our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and the entire family through Nancy's final days.

At Nancy's request, there will only be a private service at the convenience of the family. Nancy requested that all donations be made to the Shriner Hospital New England through the funeral home. To add to the Book of Memories, please visit flynndagnolifuneralhomes.com.

Though it is a tremendous loss to lose your mom, you will find she is with you in many ways. You'll feel her when you cook one of her favorite dishes, or sense her beside you while you sit in "her chair." May her memory be a blessing to all of you and know she will continue to love you all, in a different way.
