QUEENSBURY – Nancy G. Allen of Queensbury, August 21, 1947 – July 10, 2021. It is with great sadness that we announce that Nancy, a beloved wife, mother, Mema, and friend, passed away at her home, after a gallant fight with cancer.
She was the daughter of George E. and Agnes E. Goodwin of Hubbardton, Vermont.
Nancy graduated from Fair Haven High School in Fair Haven, Vermont in June 1965. She went on to be a nurse’s aide at Rutland Hospital and worked at her parents’ store/restaurant for years before her marriage to John Allen. Nancy was a Navy wife for two years and raised three sons.
She would like to be remembered as caring and thoughtful. Nancy was dedicated to and adored her sons and grandsons. She loved to read, shop, sit by the pool in the summer, go out to dinner, enjoy her flower gardens, but most of all, spend time with her family, especially her grandsons. Nothing brought her more joy than watching them grow and attending all their special events. Nancy was their biggest cheerleader and fan.
She is predeceased by her parents and her sister, Marie Durfee (Jim) of Middletown, Vermont.
Survivors include her husband John, and sons, John Jr., of Eugene, Oregon, Michael of Central Point, Oregon and Mark (Sheree) and the light of her life, grandsons Skyler and Kyan of Queensbury. She also leaves behind two nephews, Daniel and Christopher Durfee and a beloved niece, Anne Marie Mahar.
At the wishes of Nancy, there will be no calling hours or services.
