      Nancy lived a full life, always with her glass overflowing.  Her mantra was “Life is too short to sweat the small stuff.  Flush it!”  She was an amazing baker, cook and photographer.  Loved the arts & traveling. Always ready for a party!  She always made family a priority and lived her life with a strong faith in God.  She made each person feel they were the most important person in the room.  Married to her true love and best friend, Ben Sr. for 62 years, they brought out the best in each other and served as role models for unconditional love and kindness.

      Nancy was a graduate of Mercy Hospital School of Nursing, Scranton, PA.  She worked as a RN at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Hazleton and All Care Home Care, Hazleton.  Later, she became the Secretary at T&F Tire Supply Inc, Kingston.  Nancy was the family Nurse assisting relatives  with their doctor appointments and care whenever needed or asked.

      Her Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, June 13th, at 10 A.M. in Queen of Heaven Parish at Our Lady of Grace Church, Hazleton.  Burial will be in Our Lady of Grace Cemetery.  The family will receive friends on Thursday, June 12th, at the Joseph A.
