Nancy Ann (Stewart) Frack of South Burlington, Vermont passed away peacefully on December 18, 2023 in Quarry Hill Residence.
She was born on February 4, 1936, the daughter of Weston (Pete) and Helen Stewart in Fairfield, Iowa.
Nancy is survived by her three children, Susan Cathrall of Williston, VT,, Sara Dubie and husband Chris of South Burlington, VT., and Jeff Frack and wife Kathy of South Burlington, VT.. She also leaves her three Grandchildren Karri (Cathrall) Crossman and husband Brian of Vergennes, VT., Ryan Cathrall of Rochester, N.Y., Megan (Cathrall) Badger and husband Jack, of Vergennes, VT., and her five Great Grandchildren Weston, William, Lillian, and Cameron Crossman, and Owen Badger all of Vergennes, VT.
She is also predeceased in death by her husband Ronald (Ron) Frack of 33 years in 1991, her parents, and brother David Stewart.
Nancy was the maternal head of the household, creating a home "hub" where her home was filled with love, family favorite meals, the smell of a warm cookie baking or apple crisp, and where every family traditional Holiday meal was spent. These are the times Nancy was the happiest and will be missed the most. The love for her family took her to every concert, sports event, and school activity no matter where or when for her kids, grandchildren, and later on her great grandchildren. She was always there!
Everyone who knew Nancy, knew she liked, no LOVED, sports! As a graduate of the University of Iowa, her love for the "Hawkeyes" remained throughout her life! She was a member of the Universities Scottish Highlanders marching and bagpipe band performing and playing as they toured Europe, played on the Ed Sullivan show, and most proudly marched in the Tournament of Roses parade and at half time of the Rose Bowl Game in 1956 the year her beloved Hawkeyes played in the National Championship game. A true highlight of her life.
After her husband Ron left Boeing at NASA as part of the project putting the first man on the moon and living in Cocoa Beach, Florida, the family moved to Vermont in 1969. It was here that her love for Boston sports started, especially as a Boston Red Sox fan!! Her love, passion, and devotion was shared with daughter Susan. You would always find them on the road to Fenway, or watching EVERY game while wearing "lucky" Red Sox hats or jerseys, eating a ritual of Opening Day Fenway franks, peanuts, and cracker jacks. The family knew if Nancy was watching or listening to a game, there would be loud cheering, and yelling at players, players that both she and Susan knew as if personally.
It was Nancy's wish that no formal services be held. In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in memory of Nancy Frack to support cancer research and patient care.
