Nancy Agan Barber
Windsor, VT – Nancy Claire (Agan) Barber passed away, surrounded by
family, on June 7, 2025 after a brief illness. Born April 17, 1935 in
Lebanon, NH to Mercedes (Bennett) and Raymond Agan, she was the
youngest of two children. Her brother, Thomas, predeceased her in
2022. Nancy married Dr. Robert Barber, a local chiropractor, on July
1, 1961. Robert built them a home in Windsor where they resided for
the entirety of their lives.
After raising her children, Nancy cared for her mother until her death
in 1993 and then cared for her husband until he lost his battle with
multiple myeloma in 2006.
After Robert’s passing, Nancy became fiercely independent. She took
great pride in her home and loved to entertain family and friends. She
was happiest when she was home, and she was grateful that she was able
to live there until her final few weeks. Nancy is survived by her
three daughters, Mary Hemeon, Katherine Barber, and Abigail Tighe, her
grandchildren, Michelle, Amy, and Matthew, her great grandchildren,
Emma and Caden, a step son, Robert, and several nieces, nephews,
cousins, and close friends whom she cherished dearly. A funeral Mass
will take place on Friday, October 3, 2025 at 10:30am at St. Francis
of Assisi church in Windsor. Burial is private. Because Nancy always
insisted on dressing in bright, colorful clothes, we ask that you do
the same at the funeral to honor her memory! In lieu of flowers,
donations may be made to your local food pantry or to Habitat for
Humanity.
