Nancy was the loving daughter of Pearl and Michael Jeles (predeceased) and the stepdaughter of Steven Kassay (predeceased). She will be fondly cherished by her siblings Pearl Anne Charter (David) and Lana Fawcett (predeceased). Nancy is predeceased by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Alfredo and Ida D’Olimpio. She will be lovingly remembered by her sisters-in-law Mary Gambale (Louis), Antoinette Reynolds (Peter), Franca Marchionda (Pat), and Lisa DeFelice (Mario). Nancy was a loving and caring aunt to many nieces and nephews. Her warm smile and loving nature made her a joy to be around. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
