Nancy J Barrett, age 63, of Stanhope, NJ died Tuesday, May 13, 2025. Nancy was born July 26, 1961 in Montclair, NJ. She is the daughter of the late Joseph Thomas and Dolores (Clark) Barrett.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our cherished mother, Nancy Barrett, who left this world surrounded by love and peace. She was a woman of quiet strength, deep compassion, and a heart that gave endlessly to those around her.

Our mother found her greatest joy in the company of her family, especially her grandchildren, who brought light and laughter to her days. Her love knew no bounds—she was always there with a warm embrace, wise advice, or simply a comforting presence. Time spent with her was a gift we will always treasure.

A gentle caretaker by nature, she extended her nurturing spirit to animals, always offering a safe haven to any creature in need. Her vibrant garden, full of life and color, stood as a reflection of her soul—always growing, always giving. Whether it was a blooming flower, a wandering cat, or a friend in need, she tended to all with the same boundless love and care.

Her selflessness was a quiet force. She gave without expecting anything in return, listened without judgment, and loved without condition. Her beauty radiated not only in her kind smile and sparkling blue eyes but in every act of generosity, every thoughtful gesture, and every life she touched.

We will miss her more than words can express, but we find comfort in knowing that her legacy lives on in the love she instilled in us, the values she taught, and the memories we hold close.

She was, and will forever remain, the heart of our family.

With love forever,

Sam, Lauren, Tracy, Anthony, and Dustin
