Nancy went through the Gloucester School System Graduating from Gloucester High School. After High School she had several jobs in restaurants around town. Her most recent job was working in the cafeteria at Gloucester Engineering until they closed their doors.
Nancy loved reading, people watching and watching her shows. She also loved to know about all the local gossip! And most importantly, she loved spending time with her family.

Several nieces and nephews. And of course, all her granddogs!
She was predeceased by her parents, her brother Robert (Gus) Griffin and the father of her 3 children, Dana Josephson. Nancy was very kindhearted and willing to help anyone. She was always willing to feed her children's friends and even give them a place to stay if needed.
