Nancy R. Bradley (Page) lost a courageous forty-six month battle with ovarian cancer on April 8, 2025. She went peacefully to be with the Lord surrounded by her devoted family. Nancy's Catholic faith inspired, sustained and strengthened her during her long illness. Nancy joins her beloved husband, John, and her darling daughter, Joyce and her sister, Sandra in Heaven. Born and educated in Boston, Nancy graduated from Boston Clerical School. She worked for Gillette and that was where she met and fell in love with John. Nancy was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend.
Known as "Cape Cod Nana" to her grandchildren, she summered in Orleans most of her life. She welcomed friends and family to her cottage where her extended family shared wonderful days on the beach. Nancy spent many happy hours swimming with her noodle at the local beaches and ponds. She enjoyed many competitive games of Scrabble, poker, Uno, and cornhole with her grandchildren who kept her young at heart. She was an accomplished cook and her chocolate chip cookies were legendary and always present at gatherings.
She is survived by her children, John (Lisa), Susan (James), and Robert (Christine) and her grandchildren: Dan, Allison, Kevin, Elizabeth, Andrew, Sarah, and Tim. Nancy is also survived by her brother in law, Billy whom she loved like a brother and his four children.
Visitation will be at the William J. Gormley Funeral Home, 2055 Centre St. West Roxbury on Friday, April 11th, from 9:00 to 11:00 am. A Funeral Mass will be at St. Theresa of Avila Church, West Roxbury on Friday, April 11, 2025 at 11:30 am.

They nurtured and supported her throughout her disease, which extended her life and for that we, her family, are eternally grateful.
