Gansevoort, NY- Nancy McCarroll Scanlon, 73, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on August 4, 2021.

Nancy was born in Suffern NY on July 24, 1948 to Edwin & Dorothy McCarroll and lived and raised her family with her husband Francis Xavier Scanlon in Wilton, NY.

While working for Planned Parenthood as an RN, Nancy obtained her Bachelors of Science in Social Welfare at The University of Buffalo and later her Master's of Social Work from SUNY Albany. Nancy then followed her calling by spending over 25 years in various positions with The St. Anne Institute, a job she was passionate about and loved. Her co-workers were her second family and she will be missed.

Her love for family & friends along with deep passion for helping others were the core to who Nancy was. Being a grandmother to Adriana Grace was the highlight of her life. She loved to travel, garden, and float in her pool. Her collection of Christmas ornaments and Willow Tree figurines is unmatched. Happy Hour was always Friday Nights at the Darcys.

She is predeceased by her parents, Edwin and Dorothy McCarroll; her husband, Francis Xavier Scanlon; and her sister, Marilyn Weimar.

Nancy is survived by her two loving sons, Brenden Scanlon and Bryan Scanlon (Kathy); cherished granddaughter, Adriana Grace; her sister, Virginia Griffen (Paul); sisters in law, Nancy Sutherland and Kathy Beaury (Jack); her nieces and nephews, Kim, Kristin, Jessica, Erin, Catherine Rose, Geoffrey, Kenny Jr, and C.J.; as well as her bonus grandson, Johnathan and many many grand nieces and nephews.

Relatives and friends are invited to call from 4-7 pm on Thursday, August 12, 2021 at the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Home, 628 N. Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY.  A funeral home service will be held on Friday August 13, 2021 at 10am with burial in Gerald B. H.
