Raised in Forest Hills, Nancy followed her passion for helping others through a long nursing career, which began at Fitchburg State College. Her early career included, clinical psychiatric research work at McLean Hospital and Medfield State Hospital, and staff and supervisory positions at Boston City Hospital and Mattapan Hospital. Nancy later held management and director positions at Mount Auburn Hospital, Tufts Medical Center and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Nancy’s love and support for the people in her life was unwavering. She nurtured long friendships and often served as a cherished surrogate mother for many extended family members. Over the decades, Nancy created a welcoming home for her many friends and family, with book-lined rooms that reflected her love of art and antiques. Many of Nancy’s afternoons were spent in museums with her children and grandchildren, helping them to see the beauty in the paintings and objects that enriched her life. Nancy’s deep Catholic faith gave her solace through life’s challenges. Donations in her memory may be made to the Carmelite Monastery of Jackson, Mississippi or the Greater Boston Food Bank. Relatives and friends are invited to attend Nancy’s Funeral Mass at 10:30 am, on October 24, 2026, at St. Camilla’s Church, in Arlington, MA.
