Nancy Mosman Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 24, 2025.
Nancy Lee Mosman, of Waltham, Massachusetts, born on August 2, 1936, passed away suddenly on January 18, 2025, at the age of 88.

Nancy was predeceased by her beloved husband of over 70 years, Paul Mosman. Together, they shared a lifetime of love and created countless cherished memories. She is lovingly remembered by her four children: David Mosman and his wife Michelle, Darlene Blackman, Deanna Elineema and her husband Edwin, and Donna Gonsalves. Nancy also leaves behind seven grandchildren-Matt Mosman and his wife Keri, Jared Laferriere and his wife Francesca Folcarelli, Christopher Laferriere, Jacqueline Laferriere, Rachel Blackman, Joseph Gonsalves, and Daniel Gonsalves-as well as two great-granddaughters, Mollie and McKinley Mosman.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Rozetta and Ernest Canavan of Waltham, and her brother, Ernest Canavan.

Nancy's dedication to her family was unwavering and her family meant everything to her. Nancy found joy in spending time with family and friends and was always ready to care for those around her. She especially treasured summers spent in Maine, where she formed lasting friendships within the Camp Eaton community. Her warmth and kindness left a lasting impression on everyone she met.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, February 1st, at 3:30 p.m. at the First Parish in Lincoln, located at 4 Bedford Road, Lincoln, MA. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to The Michael J. Fox Foundation or Autism Speaks - organizations that were close to Nancy's heart.

Nancy will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her memory will remain a source of comfort and inspiration to all whose lives she touched.
