She was born Nancy Peckham on August 25, 1922, in Holliston, the daughter of Robert B. and Marion (Andrews) Peckham.

Nancy graduated from Holliston High School and went on to obtain a Registered Nursing degree from the Newton-Wellesley Hospital, School of Nursing. Her life reflected a woman of great compassion. She was active, beginning as a young girl in the Congregational Church, and as an RN she was part of the Framingham Nurse’s Health Study, and during WWII, she served as a nurse at Walter Reed Hospital.

She loved going to the beach along with other activities like playing cards, of which Bridge was her favorite. Nancy also enjoyed to garden and paint. Monument Beach has been ideal spot for Nancy the last 60 years.
