Nancy Keith

HUDSON FALLS – It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Nancy Keith, on January 28, 2020.

Nancy was born in Rutland, VT, on May 31, 1940, the eldest child of Oville and Rita Boulé.

In 1958 she graduated from Fair Haven High School.  She then spent a year studying infant care at St. Joseph’s Infant Home in Troy.

In 1960, Nancy began working in the maternity ward at Glens Falls Hospital, retiring in 2010 after 45 years of dedicated service.

On August 26, 1961 Nancy married Richard Keith.  They shared a life of love and laughter until his passing in 2002.  Her happiest moments were spent with her family picnicking, traveling or just being together.

Besides her husband and parents, Nancy is predeceased by her sister, Bonnie (Jan) Smith, her brother, John Boulé and her mother and father in law, Ida and Aubrey Keith.

Nancy is survived by her daughter, Laura Vance and her husband,  Michael; her son, Terry Keith and his wife, Susan-Lee; her cherished grandchildren, Caitlin (Dave) Nichols, Terry Vance, Trace (Taylor) Keith, Scott Keith and Allison Keith; her beloved great grandchildren, Aidan, Avery, Annalise and Aubren Collins and Bailey Keith.  Nancy is also survived by her loving siblings, Paul (Leah) Boulé, Terry (Gail) Boulé, Jim (Patty) Boulé, Tim Boulé and his companion, Karen Jockell, her dear sisters in law, Carolyn Rosselle and Karen Bennett and brother in law, Rodney (Elaine) Keith, many nieces nephews and cousins who meant so much to her.

We would like to thank the family and friends who spent time visiting mom and sharing memories and laughter.  Your love and support have meant the world to us.
