Nancy DeCosta Obituary
Born in Leominster, Nancy graduated from Leominster High School in 1959 before moving to Falmouth in 1963. She worked as a flight attendant for Northeast Airlines and as an administrative assistant at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). She later devoted her time to family life as a stay-at-home mother to her three children and helped raise her four grandchildren.
Nancy was happiest when surrounded by her family. Nancy is survived by her son Douglas and his son Noah of East Falmouth, her daughter and son-in-law, Pamela and Joseph Souza, their daughters Michelle and Stephanie of Waquoit, as well as her daughter Lynn DeCosta and her daughter Lyndsie of Falmouth. Additionally, she is survived by her sisters, Judith Sproul and Geraldine Ashe, both of Leominster.
A Graveside Service will take place at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, December 10th at St. Anthony's Cemetery, 167 East Falmouth Highway, East Falmouth.
