Died peacefully at her home on March 24, 2017 at the age of 101. Widow of A.V.M. Henry M. Carscallen. Daughter of Lt. Col.

Nancy came from a different age, but lived up to the minute in this one. She was sharp and true, thoughtful and humorous, and full of the wisdom and insight of one who has lived long and lived well.

Entered April 2, 2017 from Halifax

Nancy was always so generous in keeping in touch with me and I will miss her long, hand-written, chatty yearly letters. She was a friend of my mother who grew up in Halifax - Bubbles Weatherbe (who became Bubbles Campbell when she married). My mother died when I was 15 and so I treasured people, like Nancy, who had known my mother and who could fill in some of the missing information about my mother's life. I feel as though a significant chapter of my life has now closed with Nancy's death...but I am so grateful that the novel of her life, and what she offered me, was as long as it was.
