Grew up in Kingston NH. Married her sweetheart in 1981. Became a stockbroker and her husband was an executive. Family moved to Newtown CT. and the Lanzas had 2 sons. Over time became a broken family leading to a divorce in 2009. With the divorce settlement, Nancy wouldn't need to work again. Oldest son had graduated college, moved to NY and held a respectable job. Youngest son had a learning disability, was very socially awkward, and emotionally disturbed. Nancy fought with school system and finally took youngest out and homeschooled him. Youngest received his GED but never had a job and lived at home with his mother. Nancy was described as warm, open, gregarious, friendly, and generous. Liked Craft Beer, frequenting a bar/restaurant called My Place. Her other hobbies were playing Bunco with the neighborhood ladies, gardening, target shooting, game hunting, and gun collecting. She and her youngest would often go to the shooting range together. Since the divorce, Nancy's friends had noted two fears had developed in Nancy's life: the direction the country was going because of the economy, and the fear that she was losing her youngest son - that she was not connecting with him. Nancy never got out of bed Friday morning.
My Place has dedicated a bar stool in Nancy Lanza's name.
On November 1st, I will discuss the Red Sox World Series Win with my children in memory of Nancy.
