Nancy and her husband lived in Wayne, PA before moving to Rhode Island. In the summers, family and friends would gather outside her Weekapaug cottage for Nancy's famous clam fritters.

In the mid seventies, they retired to Sun City Center, Florida where Nancy enjoyed playing golf, bridge and flourished as an artist. She won numerous awards for her paintings as well as being president of the Art Club of Sun City Center. She was an active member of the Sun City Center Emergency Squad and in January of 2000 she was named a Deacon of St. Andrew Church in Florida.

The Eastburn family would like to thank the wonderful people at Neshaminy Manor for their warm friendship, enriching activities, and loving care for Nancy. A memorial service to celebrate Nancy’s life is being planned by her family for the near future.
