Reading, VT- Nancy H. Danyew, 77, died Saturday morning, November 18, 2023, at the Springfield Hospital after a brief period of declining health. In her true Vermonter fashion, she remained tough and put up no fuss.

She was born February 6, 1946, in Springfield, VT to Elmer & Mary (Paradis) Hawkins. After attending the local schools, Nancy went to beauty school and proudly spent most of her working days making sure people looked and felt their best. In 1976, she married Ernest Danyew, and opened her arms to his two children, Jennifer, and Scott. Nancy always made sure to adorn her stepchildren's lives and bedrooms with love and care.

Nancy enjoyed vacationing in Maine and reading romance novels. She loved to cook, and her family will fondly remember many large holiday gatherings with warm crock-pot meals, and many presents under the tree.

She was predeceased by her dear husband, Ernest in 2009, and by her sisters, Laurie Clay, and Sarah Murray.

She leaves behind her two step-children, Jennifer Place of Windsor, and Scott Danyew of Hartland; her grandsons, Jeffrey, Dillon and Jordan; nieces and nephews, Kimmy Ip, Danny and Dana Clay, and Brian and Sheila Murray. Among many extended relatives, neighbors, and friends, she also leaves behind special caretakers, Laish Morse and his mother, who graciously took Nancy into their home to help love and care for her like their own.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Gill Odd Fellows Home for their personalized, attentive care to Nancy, who always wanted things just-so.
