Obituary of Nancy O. Keenan

Nancy O. Keenan, age 88 transitioned on Wednesday, January 31, 2018 peacefully in her sleep. It was on the same day as the Super Blue Blood Moon, an event as rare as Nancy was herself. She will always be remembered for her warmth and sense of humor. Nancy was born Nancy Olive Schneider on the 30th of September, 1929 to the late John Joseph Schneider and Adeline Schneider. She was born in Nyack, NY and raised in Congers, NY. She always loved her father, a florist, who she lost far too early at the age of 39. Nancy graduated from Congers High School in 1947. Although she graduated from the Englewood Hospital School of Nursing in 1950, she chose the path of a homemaker and mother. She married the love of her life, Paul C. Keenan, on December 16th, 1950, and they shared 52 years together. Nancy and Paul lived in Emerson, NJ for 31 years, moving to Charlotte, NC in 1986. Nancy spent the last few years of her life as a resident of The Regency Retirement Village in Pineville, NC. Even while battling dementia, she was known for her warm smile and compassion towards others. Nancy is survived by her son Patrick, and her beloved rescue cat, Ebony with whom she shared a very special bond. She is also survived by her three nieces Patrice, Pamela and Paula, as well as their children. In addition to her late parents, Nancy is preceded in death by her husband Paul, her son Paul Gerard Keenan, and her sister Janet Foley, who passed away on January 10th, 2018. A service to celebrate Nancy's life will be held at 11:00AM on Monday, February 5th, 2018 at the chapel of St. Matthew Catholic Church, 8015 Ballantyne Commons Pkwy, Charlotte, NC 28277.Contributions in her memory may be made to the Alzheimer's Association by visiting www.alz.org and clicking on "Join The Cause".
