Nancy ("Joan") was born in Quincy and lived in Hingham, Falmouth, and Duxbury. She graduated from Quincy High School where she met Dick, the love of her life. They spent 65 years together loving their children and extended family. Joan was a warm and loyal friend, and she always had a smile on her face. She made those around her feel special, had a contagious giggle, and was never in a bad mood. Joan was a homemaker and enjoyed traveling, the beach, card games and sporting events. Nana, as her family called her, was a role model for kindness, joy, and true love (with Grandpa). Her legacy to us all will be to take whatever life brings and see it through a positive lens. She will forever remain in our hearts.
