Nancy was predeceased by her parents Bernard & Clare (Kirwan) Mohan, her brother Bud and her precious little Angel Charlie Jr. Growing up in Bridgeport and Stratford Conn., Nancy graduated High School and attended Business School. She fulfilled her first dream of working in defense factory to support the war effort. In later years, she would enjoy her work at the Dey Brothers Cash Office in Syracuse, NY.
Nancy met the love of her life "Charlie" in Stratford and ultimately moved to Syracuse NY in the post-WWII era.

Nancy and Charlie were always a joy to be around. I believe they were the happiest couple I have ever known. They also raised a beautiful family. We have missed them greatly at the VFW and in our lives.
With Love and Sympathy, Lew and Lois Hawks
