Nancy Jean

Ciccone

The life of Nancy Jean Ciccone – Born Dec. 3, 1964 – Went to Heaven Dec. 3, 2025

Nancy leaves behind her loving brothers Joseph, Michael, Darroll, and sister Sueann.  Beloved nieces and nephews, Gia & Nick, Aunt Annie and Jimmy, Aunt Pat and Uncle John, Barbara and Steve, and so many cousins and friends that she loved so very much!

In life, if we are fortunate, we come across someone who can radically change us.  Change the way we think, the way we feel, even change the way the world is or should be. Nancy Jean Ciccone was that person who changed everything.  Nancy (Nans) came into the world as a ball of fire! She LOVED so much and many things. She was fearless, powerful, and above all, full of LOVE.

For most of her life, the barely 5-foot, 95-pound force of nature, knocked most of us off balance with the tightest and strongest hugs ever felt. Her love of holidays, especially the 4th of July and "fireworks" – was her true nature.  She was, and will always be, the brightest and most intense "firework" and explosion of light and energy our world may ever see.

We were blessed to know this fireball of life. Nancy came into this world by two amazing and intense parents. Catherine (Kitty) Mazzone who was the Captain of the Cheer Leading Squad and Joseph Dominick Ciccone, the Basketball and Police Captain. They tried so hard to protect and love their daughter unconditionally. A major product of Italian grandparents Ida, Nick, Vito and Mary. Each of them a powerhouse in their own right. Nancy absorbed their energy, and above all, their boundless love into her heart.

Nancy came into this world to show us not only who she was, but who we are.  First and foremost, how lucky to know a ball of light, love, and energy.  Someone who can hug you so tight, you cannot even breathe.  Someone who reminds you that Santa and gifts are real!  Someone, who NEVER, EVER forgot a birthday, anniversary, and dates of the passing of loved ones. But most the importantly, that LOVE is the only thing that really mattered.

Nancy had a spectacular career in education serving the Fairview Public Schools. She helped thousands of young children for nearly 3 decades. Her thirst for learning and sharing were profound and she showed and taught us what love is supposed to be.

Nancy Jean Ciccone, you are and will forever be, the most loving person we have ever known.
