Nancy Reece Obituary
Nancy was a cherished wife, mother, Nonna, and sister. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 32 years, Frederick Reece; her daughter, Jessica (Nicholas) Dziedzic; and her two adored grandchildren, Addie and Noah. She is also survived by her brothers, Donald LaMonica and Jerome DePape, as well as her Aunt Deborah Plugh and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Nancy was preceded in death by her mother, Jeanette LaMonica.
Throughout her life, Nancy was known for her effervescent personality. She was well liked and respected by her colleagues at Isaac Heating and Air Conditioning, Bausch and Lomb, ITT Goulds Pumps, WNY Computing and Pictometry. Her unwavering love and support were a source of strength and joy for her family and friends.
A memorial service to honor Nancy's life will be held at a later date. The family will share details as they become available. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made online to Strong Memorial Hospital or to University of Rochester

I was searching out recent death notices (due to the untimely death of an acquaintance) and ran across Nancy's obituary. I am in shock and so terribly saddened by this. Nancy was a dynamic and soulful person. I met her in our fight to keep Walmart from coming to Lima. I bonded with her instantly! I was ecstatic when Walmart backed out but so saddened that I wouldn't see Nancy on a regular basis anymore. What a terrific human being. What an incredible woman. What a horrible loss for her family, the community, and the world at large.

Nancy and I worked together at Bausch & Lomb. She joined our team to take over my role while I moved to a different position. She handled things with confidence and a great sense of humor. I think Nancy had an ability to understand people and figure out what made them tick. Fred, you and I only met once - we had dinner together at Flaherty´s - but she always spoke so fondly of you, and her daughter. I am sorry for her passing. She was a good person.

Nancy will be sorely missed. She was a wonderful friend, an even better bonus "Nonna" to our son, Oliver, who loved her so much just like we did. I´m sad for her passing but I´m so glad she was surrounded by family and love. How lucky are we to have known someone so vibrant and loving that we feel such sorrow over her absence. She was remarkable, and so deeply loved. I´ll miss our conversations. Thank you for making our lives better, Nance. Our condolences to the family.

I had the pleasure of working with Nancy at ITT/Goulds Pumps. She had such a wonderful sense of humor and was always there to offer kindness and a listening ear whenever you needed it. My heartfelt condolences go out to her family and friends during this difficult time.

We had so much fun together, her laugh was contagious and when I first met her we became very fast friends. I am so sad to hear about her passing. She loved her family fiercely and those babies were everything to her. May you all find comfort in the memories and know that she is at peace and hugging her mom

Nancy was my assistant at Pictimetry. She was always cheerful and fun besides a good worker. She took over running our National ciusyomer meeting and did an outstanding job. I will cherish her memory.

This photo of Nancy with my girls in 2013 brings me so much joy...because Nancy brought so much joy to my life even years after we worked together at B+L.

I´ll always remember her goofy faces and voices she did when telling a story or emphasizing a point. Her smile was contagious.
