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.
Anyone wishing to contribute in her memory should do so to the SPCA of Upstate New York, 588 Queensbury Ave., Queensbury, NY 12804 or to High Peaks Hospice, who we consider our special angels, High Peaks Hospice, 454 Glen Street, Glen Falls, NY 12801 or visit https://highpeakshospice.org/donate/

So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
John and family I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart is so saddened today. Nancy has a beautiful soul and always greeted me with a hug. She will be missed. Please let Patrice and I know if you need anything.
Hey Matt & Patrice! Appreciated your comment and will tell you that she loved you both to pieces. I knew you would be very upset – it sucks doesn’t it. You (and we all) have been there, done that and it still sucks. Just have to learn how to live with it all. Best to both of you! John
Dear John,
It is with profound sadness that I learned of your beloved Nancy’s death. I am shocked and terribly sorry for you and your family.
I remember Nancy as being lovely, positive, and so kind. It was easy to feel comfortable in her presence.
It was wonderful to see how thrilled Nancy was when Skylar and Kyan were born. I am so glad she got to experience the wonders of being a grandmother!
John, I hope the good times you shared, especially with your sons and grandsons, help to comfort you.
Sincerely,
Pat Decker
John and family,
Nothing can prepare us for a loss so deep. Nancy was one of my dearest friends. Always there with a smile and a warm hug. May the love and care of those around you get you through this difficult time.
