Nancy O. Clancy

RANGELEY – Nancy O’Connell Clancy, 81, of Rangeley, Maine, died on Dec. 2, 2021, after a period of failing health. She was a former resident of York, Maine and Rollinsford, N.H. and had many friends in the Seacoast Area.

Nancy was born on May 4, 1940 to the late Raymond M. And Doris (French) O’Connell of Eastern Point, Gloucester, Mass.

She attended boarding school at Rogers Hall in Massachusetts where she served as captain of the Kava sports team. She went on to graduate from Garland Junior College in Boston.

Nancy’s enthusiasm, dynamic spirit, and contagious sense of humor allowed her to embrace life to the fullest. While she found professional success in her sales careers in jewelry and antiques, her ultimate satisfaction and pride came in sharing her heart as a loving mother, grandmother “Mimi,” and friend.

A true animal lover, Nancy could often be found nurturing sick animals or rescuing and feeding wildlife. She loved curling up on the couch with her many dogs and cats at night to watch a good movie.

Nancy was a fantastic cook with a passion for dining out with her family and many friends. To Nancy, Sunday dinner was seven days a week and she cooked enough for an army always.

She was an avid gardener who enjoyed the beauty of nature around her. This brought her to Rangeley, Maine, where she celebrated her sunset years with many caring friends.

She was predeceased by her son, Robert W Clancy Jr., and two sisters, Beverly O’Connell and Carol Moore.

She is survived by her son, Richard J. Clancy of Winthrop, Mass., and her daughter, Laura C. Drigo and husband Gary of Parkland, Florida. She was known as Mimi to her cherished grandchildren, Mackenzie Drigo of La Jolla, California, and Imogen Clancy and Iris Clancy of Winthrop, Mass.

A private graveside service was held in the First Parish Cemetery, York, Maine and Nancy was laid to rest beside her beloved late son, Robbie.
