Nancy Lee Shalvey

Nancy Lee Shalvey, age 84 of Elm Grove, passed away Tuesday, April 11, 2023 at home with her sister by her side.
She was born April 3, 1939, in Wheeling, daughter of the late Lawrence and Pauline Finnegan Shalvey.

Nancy never spoke an unkind word and always wore a bright smile. She enjoyed playing tennis, gardening and loved her animals. She loved her career, but most of all she loved her fur babies.
In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her two golden retrievers, Brinkley and Abigail and four kitties.
Survivors include one sister, Peggy Shalvey of Elm Grove; dear friends, Kathleen Martinkosky, Helen Seckman, Joyce Zambito, Marilyn Naum, Sandy Stocker, Linda Reed and Tina Vetanze and her beloved cat, Sophia Maria.
