Nancy McFarland Obituary
Born on September 24, 1936, in Norristown, Nancy was the daughter of the late Joseph Martino, Sr. and Antoinette (Palma) Martino. One of eight children, she was raised by Italian immigrant parents and strongly believed in the American Dream, valuing hard work, civic responsibility, and the importance of every individual.
Nancy lived in the Audubon area for more than 50 years and was a graduate of Norristown High School. She had a deep interest in politics and public service, dedicating much of her life to her community. She served as a Lower Providence Township Supervisor and was also active on the Lower Providence Zoning Board, the League of Women Voters, and the Montgomery County Prison Board.
She is survived by her three children: Paul T. McFarland, Jr. (Sophia), Bryan J. McFarland (Cheri), and Valorie Harper (Kelly); eleven grandchildren; and eleven great-grandchildren, three siblings: Joe Martino (Connie), Marie Dotts (John), and John Martino (Johanna).
Nancy was preceded in death by her brothers, Anthony Martino, Dominic Martino, and Peter Martino, and her sister, Margaret Vitelli.

My heartfelt sympathy to her family. I have very fond memories starting with her store (Stuff and Such, if my memory on name is correct?). She was always smiling and friendly to all throughout the many years that followed. She will now be reunited with her husband, who he too, was a great person. To Val and Bryan, my thoughts and prayers are with you today and always. Rest in Peace Mrs. McFarland.

We were so sorry to hear of Nancy´s passing. She was dedicated to the community and the Republican Party. It was great to serve with her.

My sister, Nancy, taught me to ride a bike when I was five years old. I then got yelled at by our father, because I ran the bike right into the rose bushes he had planted for our mother.

Nancy was a true friend of Scouting for Lower Providence Township. She never misses a new Eagle Scout ceremony to present the Lower Providence township award to the new Eagle Scout. RIP Nancy.

I was sad to learn of Nancy´s passing. She was an inspiration to many of us in local government with her dedicated years of service to her community.
May she rest in peace.
