Nancy J. Amann, age 92, of Milford, passed away peacefully on April 15, 2026, at the Masonic Care Center in Wallingford.
Nancy was the beloved wife of the late Arthur F. Amann. She was born on November 15, 1933, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, to the late Frederick and Myrtle Nolting.
Nancy dedicated her life to caring for others as a registered nurse. She worked at Park City Hospital and later at Pond Point Nursing Home, where she was honored with the distinguished Nightingale Award for her exceptional care and compassion for her patients.

Nancy was a member of the first graduating class of Milford High School in 1951 and went on to set an example for many throughout her life. In the early 1970s, she returned to school and earned her nursing degree from the University of Bridgeport. She later continued her education, earning her bachelor’s degree in nursing from Nutmeg College in Hartford. In her 70s, Nancy once again pursued higher education, earning a master’s degree in psychology from Southern Connecticut State College.
