Nancy Mahan Obituary
Nancy was born on February 14, 1940, in Rome, NY, a Valentine baby! Nancy was the first daughter and the third of nine children born to Wilfred A. Miner and Isabelle D. (Lenaghen) Miner. Nancy graduated from St. Aloysius Academy in Rome, NY, in 1958.
Taught by their father, Nancy and her siblings entertained on radio and television throughout the 1950's by singing popular songs of the times and performing dance routines.
At age 17, Rome's Daily Sentinel newspaper featured her in the popular "Rome's Fair Set".
She had been married to Bernie Mahan, also of Rome. She and Bernie had two sons, Bernard Francis and Kenneth William.
Nancy was strong-willed and decisive but was also a caring and compassionate "giver". One of her many gifts was her ability to make meaningful connections with anyone who crossed her path. Nancy loved outdoor adventures and spontaneous roadtrips with family and friends.
She was a founding member and volunteer at Morgan Grace Fellowship, a Christian church in Morgan. Nancy's strong Christian faith in the finished work of her Savior, was a source of hope and peace during her last days.
Nancy is predeceased by her parents; and her brothers, Wilfred, David and Eugene.
She is survived by her two sons; daughter-in-law, Christy Pettit-Mahan (Kenneth); grandchildren, Andrew and Christopher (Bernard) and Danielle (Gavin) Day and Lindsay (Benjamin) Roach (Kenneth); great-grandchildren, Tala and Finley (Andrew and Jhuzen Jadormeo-Mahan) and Jaxon (Lindsay and Benjamin Roach); sisters, Judith (James), Karen (Marshall) and Deborah (Reyes); and brothers, Ronald and William.
Please join us, if you can, at an informal Celebration of Life Picnic, in Nancy's honor, at Riverside Park in Morgan, UT, on June 1, 2024, at 1 p.m. Please RSVP at https://pp.events/avbo91w7
