Nancy, a cancer survivor, was an avid reader, enjoyed singing, bird watching, UConn women’s basketball, and doing crossword and jigsaw puzzles. She also enjoyed using her computer, following social media and texting her family on her flip phone.
In addition to Eugene, her husband of 58 years, she was predeceased by her sister, Alberta Lee.
Nancy is survived by her sister, Linda Morehouse of Southbury; her brother, Rev. Robert R. Lee of North Carolina; her sons: Brian Maher (Bophal) of Cambodia and Stephen Maher (Sandy) of Seymour; and her grandchildren: Kevin, Matthew, Ryan, Alana and Jordon Maher.
A private interment will be held at Spring Grove Cemetery, and a memorial service will be held at a date to be determined. The Lawrence Funeral Home in Darien is handling the arrangements.
Memorial donations can be made to the South Britain Congregational Church of Southbury, a faith community that was dear to Nancy’s heart.
