Beals (Bent), Nancy ~ 66 years old, Lawrencetown, Annapolis County. Nancy was brave, determined, strong, resilient, and fought incredibly hard against her re-occurring cancer for as long as she could.

Nancy drew strength from the love she received from her family. Her husband, Robert, was her greatest strength and their marriage and two sons her proudest accomplishments. Nancy lived a life full of family, friends, love and kindness. Nancy was always the life of the party and your strongest supporter. Her love for her family was un-wavering.

Those left to miss her are her husband of over 46 years, Robert; her sons, Kirk (Ai Terada), Calgary; Matthew, Corner Brook; and the apple of her eye, her granddaughter, Mya. Her siblings, Carol (Gene Elliott) O'Neill, Sand Lake; Eric (Jackie) Bent, Rockland; Sandy Bent, Lawrencetown; Chuck (Bonny) Bent, Granum, Alberta; Larry Bent, Marriotts Cove; Sherri (Karla Pedersen) Bent, Hammonds Plains; mother-in-law, Joyce Beals, West Paradise; sisters-in-law, Gail (Joe) Morris, Port Williams; Tracey (Matthew) Redden, Berwick; and many nieces and nephews will all miss her deeply.

Nancy was predeceased by her parents, Don and Doris (Langille) Bent, and father-in-law, Harold Beals.

Nancy will be greatly missed, always loved and never forgotten.
