It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Nancy A. Horton, on July 11, 2023. She was blessed with a peaceful passing, surrounded by her family.

Nancy (Nan) Horton was born in Burlington, VT on March 28, 1932, the daughter of Arthur Edward and Mary Ellen (O’Neil) Brennan. She was educated in Williston schools, Mt. Saint Mary Academy, graduated from Cathedral High School in Burlington, Vt. and graduated from the Fanny Allen Hospital School of Nursing.

She married Edward E. Horton, Jr. Dec. 27, 1954 at Cathedral Church, Burlington. Over their 46 years of marriage, they lived in Waco, TX; Chappaqua, NY; Rochester, MN; South Burlington and Essex Junction.

Nan did private duty nursing at Fanny Allen and Bishop DeGoesbriand Hospitals. She gave up her nursing career to spend her time raising 5 children and devoting her life to being a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She never let her own illness or discomfort prevent her from tending to others.

Nan enjoyed vacationing with her family and friends, and those special trips and cruises with her husband, Ed. A lover of nature, she enjoyed the time spent at the family summer camp, “Overlake”, on Malletts Bay. Her hobbies were ceramics, gardening, cake decorating, paint-by-number, reading mystery novels, pets, watching her backyard nature friends, along with genealogy and research of the family history. She greatly enjoyed activities with her “four musketeer” friends. Nan’s kindness, hospitality, generosity, and strength will be remembered by family, friends, and neighbors alike.

Nan is survived by her five children: Edward E. (Ted) Horton III (Juliette), Kathleen J. Horton (Kevin Barry), Carolyn M. LaMothe (Brian), Mary E. Horton, and Sharon A. Horton (Dale Laflam); five grandchildren: Amanda Carr (Tyler), Adam Horton, John LaMothe (Amiee), Cory LaMothe (Kayla Zehr), and Jessica Robinson (Okephief); five great grandchildren: Alexander and Helen Carr, Brynn and Landon LaMothe, and Zoja Robinson; sisters-in-law: Eleanor Clavelle, Patricia Perkins Rouille (Bud) and Rosemary Overon. She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.

Nan was predeceased by her husband, Ed, her brother, James L. Brennan and sister, Mary Patricia Shea, two sisters-in-law: Jane Horton and Elizabeth Yates and four brothers-in law: Michael J. Shea, J. Richard Yates, Raymond Clavelle, Sr., and Paul Horton.

We wish to thank staff of The Residence at Quarry Hill, Home Care Assistance and Home Instead for their caring, compassion and support during Nan’s 5 year journey.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, or the charity of your choice.

A Mass of Christian Burial was held July 18 at Holy Family Church, Essex Junction with burial following at Resurrection Park Cemetery. To send online condolences, please visit www.readyfuneral.com.
