Her six children, Brenda Cavanaugh, Thomas Cavanaugh Jr., Michael Cavanaugh, James Cavanaugh, Jill Knowles and her husband, David, and Nancy Lou Buciak and her husband, Eric; as well as her nine grandchildren, Dick Genest, Sean and Christian Doherty, Brenna Taccetta, Caitlin Cavanaugh, Davis and Dana Knowles, and Erica and Cayleigh Buciak; and her three great-grandchildren, Calli Genest, Finnegan Doherty, and Lillian Taccetta, surrounded and embraced her at the time of her death.
She was predeceased by her father and mother, Lawrence Charles and Doris Craig.
She was born in 1927 in Franklin, N.H. Even as a young girl, she captured everyone’s attention with her elegance and style.
She graduated from Central High School in 1945, and went on to attend Hesser Business College. She was also a member of the Elliot Hospital Junior Associates.
Her strawberry blond hair and regal posture captured Tom’s heart in 1946. The two were married on Feb. 7, 1948, in Manchester, N.H. They made their home in Manchester, where Tom was the president of Cavanaugh Bros. Motors. They were the third generation to spend summers with their ever growing family at the Cavanaugh beach house in York Beach. Over the years, she became a familiar and appreciated symbol of life in York Beach. Anyone and everyone who came to town was sure to see her swinging on her wicker porch swing. She spent most of her time at the beach house filling her home and family with love and warmth. When her husband retired in 1991, they made York Beach their permanent summer home. She was a communicant of Star of the Sea Church of York Beach.
She was an extremely active and energetic woman. She was frequently seen cruising the boardwalk on her bicycle, and she was a longtime member of the Cape Neddick Country Club, where she won many awards in the women’s golf league. She was also an avid skier and swimmer.
She and her husband spent their winters on St. Croix, U.S.V.I., where she truly indulged her passion for golf and swimming. On Feb. 27, 1993, while golfing on the Reef Golf Course in St. Croix, she hit a hole-in-one, an achievement that most golfers only dream of.
Nancy was admired everywhere she went. There wasn’t a person on the island who did not know the beautiful Mrs. Cavanaugh who was famous for wearing a red hibiscus flower in her hair.
She left her family with a legacy of love, kindness and joy that is too enormous for words, too powerful for adequate expression, and so generous that a lifetime of thanks could not even begin to repay their debt to her.
Those fortunate enough to have been touched by her were made better people by simply knowing her. Her generous heart and soul will be greatly missed but always remembered by her family and friends.
