Nancy’s world was her children and grandchildren, whom she loved dearly. She was also preceded in death by her brother, Leo Curry. Nancy loved her family, friends, the Yankees, lottery tickets, coffee and, of course, the casino. Even though her illness took over, she always said that she “lived life to the fullest”. She was the happiest spending time with family and friends, telling stories of her past and present. She did everything she could to help anyone, especially her grandchildren. Nancy helped raise all her grandchildren over the years even up to her very last day. Her grandchildren became her world after the passing of her husband. “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal.” The funeral will be Thursday with a Mass of Christian Burial at 9:30 a.m. in Our Lady of the Eucharist Parish, Pittston. Interment will be in St. Mary, Help of Christians Cemetery, Pittston. Arrangements are by the Paul F. Leonard Funeral Home, Pittston. Nancy Callahan
