Nancy Radcliffe Obituary

Visit the Chapman Funerals & Cremations - Mashpee website to view the full obituary.
The Draheim, Levesque, and Radcliffe families announce the passing of Nancy Levesque Radcliffe, age 60, of Wharton, NJ, formerly of Norwell, MA who passed away unexpectedly Tuesday, August 19, 2025, from medical complications, while visiting family in California.

Born on November 26, 1964, Nancy was the beloved daughter of Mary (Levesque) Draheim and the late Leo W. Levesque, and the late John P. Draheim. She grew up in Norwell, MA, surrounded by a large, loving family.

Nancy is survived by her mother, Mary Draheim of Mashpee, MA; her uncle Charles Farren, of Florida; her siblings Karlyne Leonard, Denise Cohen, James Draheim, Daniel Levesque, Mary Teresa Levesque, Joyce Evans, and Caroline Knox; her stepchildren Lauren Radcliffe, Bryan Radcliffe; as well as many brothers-in law, sisters-in-law, cousins, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and grandchildren.

Our Nancy was a much-loved wife, mother, nana, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, auntie, cousin, godmother, and friend. Her love was unwavering and fierce-those she loved never doubted her devotion. She was caring, always willing to help others, often putting their needs before her own, even when she should have cared for herself first. That's just who Nancy was.

Her inner strength was admirable, and her dry sense of humor brought joy to those around her. although the loss of Nancy leaves her loved ones heartbroken, there is comfort in knowing that she is now with her beloved Dave. The thought of them together again, brings a bittersweet sense of peace.

Rest easy, Nancy, with eternal love.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, 28 West 44th Street, Suite 609, New York, NY 10036 or online at www.bcrf.org.
