She was a graduate of Mauch Chunk High School and a member of Immaculate Conception Church.
Nancy was the owner of McGinley's Pocono Trail Lodge since 1975 until she retired. Many patrons share fond memories of race weekends, and lodging for hunting and skiing, and the famous salad bar.
She was a charter member of the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians for over 20 years and held many positions. She opened her home to the annual St. Patrick's Day parade since its inception, where everyone had a great time. She served as an aide to the Grand Marshal in 2005.
She loved and enjoyed going to all her children's and grandchildren's sporting events. In her later years she enjoyed attending the senior center in Nesquehoning.
She was preceded in death by a daughter, Bernadette.
She is survived by six sons, Daniel McGinley (Janette), Michael McGinley (Linda), William, James (Sheila), Thomas (Rita) and John (Stacey); and three daughters, Rose Burkhardt (Mike), Connie Salvatore and Patricia Spillman (Michael); 14 grandchildren, Terry Joe Burkhardt, Daniel (Justine) McGinley, James McGinley, Mario Salvatore, Christopher, Erin and Ally McGinley, Ryan (Jeanette) and Thomas McGinley, Patrick, Danielle and Kate Spillman, Alex and Abby McGinley; and great-grandchildren, Daniel, Chase and Addison McGinley and Webb and Nell McGinley.
