Nancy Lee (Carter) Eaton

Nancy Lee (Carter) Eaton, of Pocasset, formerly of Needham, died peacefully surrounded by loving family Sunday, June 24th at the McCarthy Care Center in Sandwich. She was 84 years old. Born and raised in Needham, she was the daughter of the late William L. and Beulah (Martin) Carter. Nancy was a graduate of Needham High School and Colby-Sawyer College. Nancy worked for many years as a legal secretary for William Bowers and especially enjoyed her time working at Taylor's Stationery in Needham Center.

Nancy was a lifelong resident of Needham until 1999 when she and Dick retired to Pocasset, MA and Holmes Beach, FL. Nancy was a member of the Carter Memorial United Methodist Church. She enjoyed spending time with Dick and their four children at the Needham Pool and Racquet Club. Affectionately known as 'Nan' to her grandchildren, she never missed an opportunity to spend quality time with them, whether in Florida, Cape Cod, or simply being there to attend their soccer or baseball games and the many dance and music recitals.

Eaton and his wife, Kathy of Asheville, NC, Gary L.
