Nancy R. Lagueux, 80, of Auburn, passed away peacefully on August 8th, 2024 at The Chapman House, surrounded by her family.

Nancy was born in Lewiston on November 8,1943, a daughter of the late Edward Anthony and Malvina (Fortin) Merrow. She dedicated her life to her family, even retiring early to care for her many grandchildren.

Nancy is survived by her brother, Richard Merrow and wife Rita; her children, Tina Brooks, Brenda Bechard and husband Stephen, David Janke and wife Lisa, Kelly Hood and fiance David Kronstrand; her 23 loving grandchildren, Kristie, Richie, Greg, Nicole, Samson, Scarlett, Jeffery, Danny, Michael, Trisha, Ryan, Zachary, Brooke, Jake, Owen, Dylan, Bradley, Jayden, Julia, Matt, Brianna, Alyssa and Stephanie, and her 12 great grandchildren.

She is predeceased by her husband, Richard J. Lagueux; her sister, Lorraine Lizotte and husband Arthur; her brother, Raymond Merrow and wife Shirley; her sister in law, Sherri Merrow; her son, Bruce W. Janke; and her grandson, Nathaniel P. Smith.

Nancy was always known for opening her home to others. Most summer days were spent at the home she shared with her husband, Richard, in the company of extended family and friends. There they enjoyed swimming in the pool, having BBQ’s, hosting lobster feeds, singing karaoke, and nights by the fire. In her spare time, Nancy liked knitting, crocheting, playing bingo, watching her soap operas, and the occasional glass of red wine.

In her last few years Nancy first lived at Maison Marcotte, where she made many friends. She spent her time playing and calling Bingo and attending social events. She later resided at the Chapman House, where she gained additional friends and participated in similar activities.

Nancy’s family wishes to send a gracious “Thank You” to all who cared for her at the Chapman House in Auburn, and the amazing women at Andwell Health Partners- Hospice who made her last days very special. Our hearts are warmed that she was supported by such amazing people during her last few months.

We invite all who knew and loved Nancy to attend her visitation hours, which will be held Sunday, August 18th from 12-2PM and 4-6PM at The Fortin Group of Auburn. Funeral service will follow at 6PM. All are welcome.

Arrangements are under the care of The Fortin Group Funeral Home | 217 Turner Street Auburn, ME 04210 | (207) 783-8545
