Throughout her life, Nancy prioritized her family as a dedicated housewife and homemaker. Her nurturing spirit extended beyond her own children, as she ran a beloved daycare from her home for over 30 years allowing herself to be God’s humble servant. She touched the lives of countless families with her warmth and care. Nancy also loved volunteering with the Food Pantry and she volunteered at St. Gregory’s Church for over 5 years. She was known for her generous heart from God and the joy she brought to those around her.

Nancy’s greatest happiness came from spending time with her family, whom she adored. She loved fellowship and sharing meals and relished every moment shared with her loved ones. Her legacy of love and dedication lives on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Nancy was married to her devoted husband, Wallace George Connolly, for 62 wonderful years until his passing. Preceding her in death were her beloved parents, Daniel and Dorothy Collins, and her husband, Wallace George Connolly, Sr.

She leaves behind a loving family: her three children, Marylaura Fortier, Christine Lopez and her husband, Russell, and Wallace G. Connolly, Jr., and his wife, Angela. Nancy was a proud grandmother to Melissa, Rebecca, Nicole, and Daniel, and a doting great-grandmother to Talon, Asher, Leia, and Revyn.

In accordance with her wishes, services will be private. The family kindly invites you to offer your fondest condolences on the Cremation Society of Virginia website during this difficult time.

Nancy Mae Connolly was deeply loved and will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her memory will forever be a guiding light for her family and friends.
