Nancy V. Stoddard

Nancy was born April 6, 1933, in Hartford, Conn., the daughter of the late Harold and Elizabeth (Lepak) Vroom. She was united in marriage to James A. Stoddard on Aug. 3, 1954, in Florida; he preceded her in death.

Nancy retired with 30-plus years of service as the librarian at the Pierceton Public Library. She absolutely loved her morning coffee. She was known for being an avid reader, reading three to four books weekly. Nancy enjoyed sewing and could make anything she was asked to do. She was the world’s best librarian, a loving mother, wife and grandmother.

Nancy will be lovingly remembered by her daughters, Kim (William Jr.) Saillant, of Pierceton, and Kelly (Paul) Bumbaugh, of Larwill; son, Mark (Lisa) Stoddard, of Pierceton; sister, Linda (Ralph) Klumb, of Granby, Conn.; grandchildren, Susan (Joel) Warstler, Alexander Stoddard, James Stoddard and Jamie Bumbaugh; step-grandchildren, William (Trisha) Saillant III, Kristin (Ron) Ousley and Brianna Bumbaugh; and three great-grandchildren. In addition to her husband James, she was preceded in passing by two sisters, Sandra Vroom and Janice Galick.
