Nancy J. “Nanny” Norton, 86, of Pulaski Township, passed away on September 7th, 2025.

She was born in New Brighton on December 19th, 1938, the daughter of the late Lloyd R. and Bess (McCullough) Philips. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Harry Norton, Jr., a brother, Robert “Ears” Philips and her niece, Judy Rose. Nanny is survived by her children: Dana, Donald, Scotty (Kimberly) and Robin (Kenny); as well as four grandchildren: Kyle, Dustin, Ryan and Chelsey; along with five great grandchildren, Eli, Christopher, Alex, Ella, Jaxon and one on the way and her nephew, Robert “Flip” Philips. Nancy was a proud retiree of New Brighton Elementary School, where she worked in the cafeteria for over 40 years. She brought warmth and kindness to the students and staff every day. In her free time, she enjoyed playing bingo, visiting the casino and was an enthusiastic member of her local bunco club. She also liked country music and the Game Show Network. Above all, Nanny cherished her family: her greatest joy came from spending time with her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

No services will be held for Nancy. Arrangements have been entrusted to the J&J Spratt Funeral Home, 1612 Third Avenue, New Brighton.

She will be buried at Sylvania Hills Memorial Park, 273 PA-68, Rochester with her husband, Harry Norton, Jr.
