Newport, NH: Nancy Jachim passed away on January 10, 2022.
It's not often that life brings us someone as special as Nancy Jachim.
I feel more than fortunate to have had her as my bestie and loving spouse. It was painful to say goodbye after her long struggle with gallbladder cancer.
Nancy was a treasured teacher, fervent feminist, avid tennis player, a horticulturist and a warm friend who oozed kindness. Her warm infectious smile and gentle jovial manner easily won hearts and changed minds. Nancy had a song for every situation and wasn't shy about singing it, no matter how obscure it may have been. Her singing made life with her like a living musical.
The world will be a darker place without the light of her smile and sweetness of her gentle heart.
Nancy is survived by:
Her spouse, Linda Billingsley
Her older sister and her spouse, Geri Jachim and Maddy Ladd
Her younger sister, Arlene Jachim
Her nephews Ben Gallagher and Matt Jachim-Gallagher
