WINDHAM — Nancy Grace Durr, 87, passed away peacefully on Thursday, Oct. 24, 2019, with her family by her side at Ledgewood Manor.

Nancy was predeceased by her beloved husband Robert Durr, son Tom Durr, daughter Nancy Wilcox, and brother Kenneth Jagel.

Nancy is survived by her brother William and his wife Jean Jagel and sister-in-law Mildred Jagel; daughters Laura Ryal, Carol Durr, Barbara Durr; and son-in-law Marshall Wilcox; eleven grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.

Nancy loved spending time with her family and friends. If there was a card game open, you could surely find Nancy playing and likely winning — cribbage was her specialty. She was also an amazing gardener and loved sharing plants with family and friends. Nancy was an active member with the American Legion Auxiliary.  

Nancy was born in 1932 in Queens, New York, and, over the years lived in New York, Florida, and Maine. Her family always recalls her zest for life: Beach outings, spending time with her family and friends, and cribbage tournaments were among the special times Nancy had. Not only did Nancy love her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, she also loved animals, and her cats and dogs were always part of her life as well. 

A funeral service will be held at the Casco Village Church, United Church of Christ, 941 Meadow Road Casco, on Saturday, Nov. 2, at 1 p.m., with Pastor Joyce Long officiating. There will be a reception to follow.
