Beloved daughter of the late James and Florence McGrath.

They were active members of Notre Dame church in Clarendon Hills IL. and St. Peters in Saugatuck MI. Bill and Nancy were well known in Clarendon Hills as members of the fire department and the owners of the local grocery store. They retired to Douglas in 1991 and proceeded to host their growing family to summers in south west Michigan.
Loving Daughters Caryn Linn and Kathy Ricar and son Thomas and his wife Mary Ellen Reynolds were with Nancy as she passed away at home.

She had also welcomed her first great grand child Logan from proud parents Clif and Amanda Jo Wells. In the last week of her life many of her grandkids and great grandchild were able to visit her and express their love and support for her. There were many kind and tender moments in her last weeks.
Nancy loved staying involved with her family and old friends from Clarendon Hills days. She also enjoyed gardening and feeding the hummingbirds that came to her porch each summer. She volunteered at Christian Neighbors’ charities. She loved the Celtic Thunder singing group and was able to see them in person on a recent trip to Chicago. She introduced us all to the relaxed lifestyle and beautiful nature of the south west Michigan’s beaches and woods.
