( it took two dates) They married on May 13, 1956 and made their home in Rumford Me. until his death on June 3, 1992.
Nancy enjoyed her trips to Florida in the winter months, as well as having the opportunity twice to go to Hawaii where her son was stationed. She shared her recipes with her family- she taught her granddaughters how to make her spaghetti sauce and meatballs. She enjoyed her roses and gardening, knitting and crocheting, and working on jigsaw puzzles. Her children will remember her hollering for us at lunchtime from the porch. We could hear her a quarter mile away at the ball field.
Nancy worked over the years for Mammoth Mart, Avon, Department of Health and Human Services, and as a clerk for the Town of Rumford. She also spent time both in Rumford and Englewood FL with her special friend, Bert Theriault. While there, she worked for Beall's Department Store.
