Nancy Lee Durkin

She was born on April 27, 1934, in Tuxedo, New York, and spent her best years raising her family in Suffern, New York.

Nancy was the beloved wife of the late William Durkin, with whom she shared more than 60 years of marriage. Together, they built a life filled with love and memories, always centered around family. Nancy was selfless and would do anything for those she loved. Her kindness, devotion, and quiet strength touched all who knew her.

Nancy enjoyed crafting, decorating, and baking, and found great joy creating special things to share with others. Her home was often filled with the comforting aroma of something baking in the oven and rooms beautifully adorned with holiday décor, making everyone feel welcome.

She is survived by her children: daughters Debbie (Trey) Sgroi and Deanne (Michael) Martin, and son James (Torva) Durkin. Nancy was a devoted grandmother to seven grandchildren: Danielle (Andrew) Doane, Nick and Trey Sgroi, Ryan and Mary Martin, and Fallon and Rowan Durkin. She was also the cherished great-grandmother of Hudson Doane, with whom she loved spending time. She is also survived by her beloved dog, Toby, whom she adored and lovingly catered to.
