Nancy Gervasi Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 8, 2024.
Nancy Gervasi, age 90, of St. Clair Shores, MI and a longtime resident of Rochester Hills, MI passed away October 15, 2024 at home surrounded by family. She was the loving wife of Anthony Gervasi for thirty years; dear mother of Gregory (Gloria) Zunker, Brian (Debra) Zunker and Jennifer Zunker; stepmother of Mark Gervasi, Laura (Jack) Meyers, Paula Gervasi, and Barbara (Dan) Picklo. Nancy was also a cherished grandmother of twelve and a great-grandmother of four; and a beloved sister of Barbara ( late Robert) Gollash.

After raising her children and participating in craft shows with her dear friend Sheila, Nancy enjoyed her work while employed as a Montessori School Teacher's Aide and later as a Sales Assistant at Quaker Oats Company. She was an avid reader, loved to travel with her husband and friends, enjoyed card club and crocheted beautiful blankets. Nancy's endless kindness, strong will, sharp wit and contagious laughter will be strongly missed by all those fortunate enough to have known her.

Funeral Mass will be held Saturday, November 9, 2024 at 11:30 a.m. at St. Isaac Jogues Catholic Church-21100 Madison Street, St Clair Shores, MI 48081.
