Nancy J. (Nepa) Panaro

Nancy passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family, on Sunday, January 11, 2026.

Nancy worked for the DuPont Company for 35 years as an administrative assistant and received several awards for outstanding service. Nancy never missed a single day of work. She was a graduate of P.S. DuPont High School and attended Goldey-Beacom College.

Nancy was a loving, caring, and selfless person who always put her family first. She cherished spending time with her family, especially her granddaughter, Jill, and her great-granddaughter, Ivy. She was an outstanding mother to her two sons and a devoted wife who loved unconditionally and wholeheartedly.

She enjoyed thrifting and beachcombing with her husband, Ray, always on the lookout for hidden treasures. She loved animals and enjoyed the many pets she had throughout her life. Nancy enjoyed several trips to Italy.

Nancy leaves behind her husband of 64 years, Raymond; her sons, Tony and Ray Jr., her granddaughter, Jillian Panaro, her great-granddaughter Ivy, and her daughter-in-law, Julie Panaro.

She will be missed more than words can ever describe.

A private memorial service will be held by invitation only.
