Good bye my dear friend. I will deeply miss our love and our laughter. I have some of your heart and you took some of mine with you.
My
stay on earth is over,
Jesus has called me Home.
Our Blessed Mother (Ann) was
there to meet me, No more
on Earth shall I roam.
I am with the Angels in Paradise,
Where lasting happiness abides.
I kiss the precious Golden
Key That opens Heaven’s
door to Eternity.
My prayers will always be with
You To help you on Life’s journey.
Just call on me when needing help,
I’ll give your plea to Jesus myself.
When your earthly life is over,
And Jesus calls you Home,
I’ll be there to welcome you -
What bliss to see you come!

Nancy was born in Philadelphia, PA to Ann and John on Monday, June 26, 1944, and lived at 2657 N. Bancroft Street until 1952, 811 W.

Mom attended St. Bonaventure grammar school, went to high school at Little Flower and graduated in 1962. She went on to work as a counselor at the American Girl Temporary Employment Center in Philadelphia and spent summers on the Washington Avenue beach in Margate, NJ with her girlfriends. Nancy was married in 1969 and raised her son at home until 1977 to begin working at the Gloucester County Educational Commission and in 1980 started at West Jersey Hospital (Virtua) in the Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU) in Voorhees, NJ and retired after 26 years. Nancy dedicated the next years of her life to care for her beloved mother Ann at home in Barrington, NJ until her passing in 2007.

Blanton and Francis (Butler) Dunn of Haddonfield; former brother-in-laws: Samuel Balducci (Catherine) and Thomas Mancini (Lillian), Ronald Mancini, Jr (Ronald), and her adored friend Regina Twisdale.
Mom’s wishes are to forgo a viewing, be cremated: “One half of my ashes are to be spread over my Mother and Father’s graves [at Resurrection Cemetery, Bensalem, PA]. The rest of my ashes are to be sprinkled in the ocean at Washington Ave. in Margate, NJ.”
Fertig Funeral Home in Mullica Hill, NJ arranged the cremation at Lake Park, in Swedesboro, NJ. Interment private. In due time, if appropriate, plans to be determined and announced.
Love, love, love, Hudson, Grey + Blanton

Nanny was the world’s best Grandmother and friend to me. She was always kind, caring, loving, wonderful and, no matter what, she was proud of me. I will always miss her, and her spirit lives on. Love you, Grey

Nancy, you were such a fantastic friend and co-worker at MICU. I started at MICU in 1982. You were the first person I met. You had such a great work ethic and sense of humor. You were so smart and just sassy enough to keep life interesting. I’m glad you finally have peace from the nagging medical issues of the last few years. You will be missed.

To my sweet Aunt Nancy. Not only were you my Aunt & my godmother but you were one of my best friends. When we would spend time together or talk frequently on the phone…boy did we always laugh. Your laugh was infectious. You always brought a smile to my face. I knew that I could always confide in you as you could with I. When Ryan and Steph were toddlers I know how you enjoyed taking them for weekends. I knew you would always take such care of them. You never once judged me. I will miss our talks and the laughter. I will always cherish you and you will always be in my heart. I will miss you dearly. I love you Aunt Nancy. Thank you for being such a kind, wonderful Aunt and most of all a best friend ❤️
