Nancy H. Wall, 79
Dateline: Mansfield, MA Nancy H. Wall, age 79, of Mansfield, succumbed to Alzheimer's and passed away peacefully on Friday, August 8, 2025, at the Life Care Center of Attleboro. She was the beloved wife of David E. Loving, to whom she was wed in 1991. Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, on November 1, 1945, she was a loving daughter of the late Alexander “Sandy” Wall and Helena (Evans) Sprague. Nancy grew up in Darien, Connecticut, and was a 1964 graduate of Darien High School. She was very proud to have attended Boston University, graduating with a master’s degree. Nancy worked as an occupational therapist in Berkeley, California; Switzerland; London; and Boston, and retired from Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro. A resident of Mansfield for the past thirty-five years, Nancy was well known in the community. She served on the Mansfield Board of Health and the Keep Mansfield Beautiful Committee, where she spearheaded the annual appearance of the downtown flower barrels. Fiercely independent but never pushy, she worked quietly and with purpose to move things along. Nancy’s proudest achievement was raising money for the town mural paintings on Route 106, near the train station. Nancy was a longtime member of the Foxborough Universalist Church, where she sang in the church choir and served on the property and worship committees. With her husband David, she shared a love for antique cars, was a member of the Model T Club of America, and taught other women how to drive a Model T. Nancy was also a member of the Horseless Carriage Club, enjoyed gardening, growing her beloved blueberries and strawberries, but most of all, spending time in the presence of her loving family. In addition to her husband, she is survived by her devoted children, Kenneth Loving and his wife Lavine of California, Dana Cyr and her husband Randy of Maine, and Pamela Loving Dube and her husband Chris of Mansfield. She was the cherished grandmother of Levi Cyr, Gabrielle Cyr, Tegan Loving, MacKenzie Loving Xavier, Lydia Dube and the great grandmother of Brooks Cyr. She was the dear sister of Alec Wall of Maine, the late Lew Wall, and the loving aunt of Debbie Hamilton and Chuck Wall. Relatives and friends are cordially invited to attend a service in celebration of her life on Sunday, August 24 at 3:00 P.M. at the Foxborough Universalist Church, 6 Bird Street in Foxborough.
