Nancy Jane Baggs

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Nancy Jane Baggs. She left this world peacefully on April 11, 2026, surrounded by her loving family in the comfort of her home, a place filled with cherished memories and love. She was 74 years old.

Born to William and Marion Dwyer on April 4, 1952, in Staten Island, NY. Nancy was predeceased by her beloved parents, William and Marion, and her brother, William Dwyer.

Nancy is survived by her devoted husband, John Baggs, with whom she shared 54 beautiful years of marriage. Together, they built a family rooted in love, a testament to their unwavering partnership since they wed on May 29, 1971.

She was the proud and loving mother of John (Lori), Michael (Karyn), Amy, and Timmy. Nancy’s family was her pride and joy, a source of endless happiness and fulfillment. Her legacy lives on through her nine grandchildren, Taylor (Giovanna) Blanco, John, Corinn, Ashley (James) Mahoney, Samantha, Mackenzie, Kaitlin, Hailey, and Allie, who will always remember their grandmother as their biggest fan and most loving supporter.

Nancy attended Saint Patrick's School and graduated from Tottenville High School before attending Wilfred Beauty School. Her career began in New York City with Merrill Lynch. Later, Nancy found her true calling as a Real Estate Agent with Neuhaus Realty, where she helped many find their dream homes with her characteristic warmth and dedication.

Nancy enjoyed spending summertime in Forestburg with her cousins. She enjoyed playing racquetball with friends. Her love for sports extended to her family life, where she could often be found cheering on her children and grandchildren at the baseball or softball field, basketball court, track or lacrosse field.

Nancy’s warmth, generosity, and love will remain in our hearts forever. As we bid farewell to a remarkable woman, we celebrate the indelible mark she has left on all who were fortunate to know her. Her life was a testament to the power of love, family, and community, and her memory will be cherished eternally.
