Nancy Knight Obituary
SHREWSBURY - Nancy A. (Norquist) Knight, 71, of Shrewsbury died peacefully at Shrewsbury Nursing and Rehabilitation after a lengthy illness on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. She was the wife of Allan Knight with whom she shared 39 wonderful years.
Born, raised and educated in Shrewsbury, Nancy was the daughter of the late Dorothy A. (Maguire) Bosse. She graduated from Shrewsbury High School in 1966 and soon found employment at the Brown Shoe Company in Worcester. She later began to work at Shrewsbury Nursing where she dedicated more than 18 years. Wanting to interact with people more she later began working at Star Market on Julio Drive and later at Stop N Shop in Westborough prior to her retirement.
In her spare time she truly enjoyed attending country music concerts and was an avid fan of Star Wars and Nascar. These times meant the most when they could be shared with those she loved. On occasion, she was seen cruising around town in her mustang and those who knew her well might have watched her go down the strait away in Epping.
In addition to her husband, Nancy is survived by her sisters Janet Moyles of Shrewsbury, Cherylann Bosse of Worcester, niece Alicia Ann Bosse, nephew Erik Bosse, and by her dear friend Terry Gilchrest. She was predeceased by her brother Edward T. Bosse.
The Family would like to give sincere thanks and appreciation for compassionate care Nancy received at Shrewsbury Nursing and Rehabilitation with Notre Dame Hospice.
Relatives and friends are invited to visit with her family on Saturday, November 10, 2018 between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM at BRITTON-SHREWSBURY FUNERAL HOME, 648 Main Street, Shrewsbury. A Graveside Service will be celebrated at a later date which will be published on the funeral home website.

Nancy you were my BFF and my time spent with you was amazing and so much fun especially all those concerts we went to and the "Meet and Greets" with our favorites! Our trips to Florida to meet my boys and to Nashville because we both liked Country Music were the best I've had with you and I will cherish those times forever! You introduced me to nascar and Star Wars and found myself loving those things because of you! You will always be "On my mind and In my heart"! As you would say so many times I love you lots, well I Love you lots and always will!
