Funeral Home
Nancy J. Eaves
 LOWVILLE- Nancy Jane (VanWagner) Eaves, 69, of Lowville, went to be with her
Lord on Monday, November
1, 2021 surrounded by her loving
family.
Nancy was born June 15, 1952
in Norwich, NY, the youngest daughter of Roy and
Doris (Thomas) VanWagner.
She graduated
from Sherburne-Earlville
Central School
in 1970 and Wilson Hospital School of Nursing in Binghamton in 1975. Nancy then worked as an RN in the cardiac
ICU under Dr. Michael DeBakey at the Methodist Hospital in Houston, TX
from 1975 to 1979.
She then returned
home to New York
State and married
Thomas Eaves, Jr. in Norwich,
NY on August 25, 1979. Nancy and Tom
have been dairy farmers in Lowville their entire married lives. Nancy loved working on
the dairy farm, especially driving tractor and doing field work, and
raising their four children.
Nancy was very
involved in her church. She especially loved teaching children’s Sunday
School and playing piano. She also
enjoyed serving her community during her time on the Lewis County General
Hospital Board.
Nancy is survived by
her husband, Tom, her four children and ten grandchildren: Kari and Mike Greenhoe (Grant, Clark and Gracia) of Germany; Gregory and Stephanie
Eaves (Braelynn and Bryson) of Lowville; Andrew and Amanda Eaves (Riley,
Addyson, Zane, Zaid and Zander) of Lowville and Dorianne
Eaves of Syracuse. She is also survived by her two sisters, Sally (Ward)
Babcock of Sherburne, NY and Susan Bugbee of Honesdale, PA
as well as many beloved nieces and nephews and brothers- and sisters- in
law.
Nancy is predeceased
by her parents, Roy and Doris VanWagner, and her
in-laws Thomas and Audrey Eaves.
We will remember Nancy for her strong
faith and perseverance through many challenges, as well as her great love
for family, her enduring sweet tooth – especially for baked goods and ice
cream, and her sassy sense of humor – she always had a smart aleck answer.
There will be no
calling hours. A funeral service
will be held at 11:30am
on Friday, November 5, 2021 at First Mennonite Church of New
Bremen. Burial immediately following at the West Lowville
Cemetery.

flowers, donations in Nancy’s
memory may be made to Lewis County Search & Rescue, P.O. Box 247, Lowville,
