Nancy Lorraine Blair – 71, Salmon River, passed away peacefully, after a courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by the love of her family, on Wednesday morning, July 30, 2025, at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. Born in Truro, she was a daughter of the late George and Cleta (Stronge) Spicer.

Many will remember seeing Nancy out around the neighbourhood walking, and she also enjoyed spending time at the beach with family and friends.

She will be dearly missed by her loving husband of 53 years, Vernon.

Nancy is survived by her husband, Vernon; children, Scott Blair, Dartmouth; Sandra (Paul) Graham, Greenfield; grandson, Brandon Graham, Greenfield; siblings, Roger (Liz) Spicer, Lower Harmony; Earl Spicer, Lower Harmony; Valerie (Randy) Johnson, Bible Hill; Julie Davis, Trenton, Ontario; nieces and nephews, Dara (Carla) Spicer, Darren (Stacey) Spicer, Kim (Derek) MacKenzie, Melissa (Andrew) Begin, Kallista Davis.
