Obituary of Nancy Richardson (nee Fennell)

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Nancy Richardson (nee Fennell) at the age of 64 on February 7, 2023, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Beloved mother of Michael (Maia) and Sarah (Stephen). Cherished grandmother of Patrick, Charlotte and William. Much loved sister of Michael (Jean), Cathy (Michael), David (Nancy), Paul (Tammie), Sandra (Jeff). Fondly remembered by her large extended family and many friends. Predeceased by her loving husband Patrick, her parents Agnes and Lou Fennell and her treasured Nan. Nancy was the kindest human with the biggest heart, absolutely adored by all who knew her. She was born in St. John’s and remained a proud Newfoundlander even after her family settled in Ottawa after a series of moves. Nancy died peacefully at home.
