Nancy Felton Hughes, at the age of 58, passed away on December 29, 2018 at her home of 26 years in Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA following a long and courageous 9-year battle with younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease.
Nancy was born on November 28, 1960 in Boston, MA, the youngest daughter of George E. and Marjorie F. Felton. She spent her childhood in Hingham MA and attended Derby Academy and then on to graduate from Ethel Walker School in Simsbury CT. She went on to complete her college years at St. Lawrence University in 1982 with a BA in Economics and French. On September 19, 1987, she married her devoted husband of 31 years Clifford T. Hughes at her family’s home in Hingham.
Nancy lived in Boston and Salem, MA for a number of years after college before settling with her family in Manchester, MA. She worked as a marketing executive for Sail Magazine, Atex Computer Co. and Frelonic Co. before becoming a loving and caring mother for her three delightful children.
Nancy will be especially remembered for her extraordinary kind and generous heart, sense of humor and above most all else her passionate commitment to her family, the accomplishment she was most proud of. She was happiest in her world as a loving mom.
Survivors include her husband, Clifford T. Hughes of Manchester, MA and her three wonderful children: Kyle Felton Hughes of Philadelphia, PA, Nathaniel George Hughes of Brookline, MA and Lila Parke Hughes of Boston, MA; as well as her immediate and extended family and many dear friends.
Thanks to all for their help and support.
A celebration of her life will be held in the Spring of 2019. Arrangements by the Campbell Funeral Home, 525 Cabot Street, Beverly. Please, no flowers. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Nancy’s memory may be made to Kaplan Family Hospice House, c/o Care Dimensions, 75 Sylvan Street, Danvers, MA 01923.
