Alice “Nancy” Meagher White

HUDSON FALLS & HEBRON– Alice “Nancy” Meagher White, 95, of Hudson Falls and formerly of Brooklyn and Hebron, peacefully joined her husband in eternal rest on Friday, April 1, 2016, at the home of her son and daughter in law, Anthony and Kim White.

Born on August 19, 1920 in Brooklyn, she was the daughter of the late John Francis Meagher and Alice Forsyth Meagher.

Nancy was proud to have graduated with honors from New Utrecht High School in Brooklyn, the school that “Welcome Back Kotter” was based on. She wrote a column for the school newspaper “Book Ends by Nancy Meagher,” and was a member of the National Arista Honor Society. Nancy was also member of the Daughters of the British Empire.

In 1963, she married Gerald White on Long Island.  He passed away in 2003, after 40 wonderful years of marriage.

Nancy, along with her husband, lived in Lakeview, Long Island for many years. While in Long Island, Nancy was the secretary for the Administrator of Building and Grounds at Rockville Center Public School System.  She was employed there for many years and when Gerald retired, they bought a colonial saltbox home and farm and moved to Hebron to spend their retirement years together.

Nancy was an avid reader and loved music.  She played the piano and sang in the choir at Saint Thomas Episcopal Church in Malvern, NY. She also was a wonderful cook who made the most perfect Genoese spaghetti.  The center of her life was watching over her grandchildren.  She adored them and took interest in everything they did.

Survivors include her brother, John Forsyth Meagher and his wife, Sandra of Rowayton, Connecticut and Hebron, NY, her son, Anthony Meagher White and his wife, Kimberley Waters-White of Hudson Falls, and their three sons, Kieran, Korey and Kerry White; her son, Douglas Sommer of Smithtown, NY, her daughter in law, Anita Sommer of Smithtown and their children, Jonathan Sommer and his wife, Breanne, and Evan Sommer and his fiancée, Jessica Ziegler.

Memorial Services will be private.

The family suggests that memorial donations be made to the Fort Edward Rescue Squad, Inc., P.O. Box 226, Fort Edward, NY 12828 and to the American Cancer Society.
