Nancy Jane Boyle

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nancy Jane (Roscoe) Boyle, 71, of Bloomingdale and formerly of Pompton Lakes, who passed away on Friday, January 13, 2023.

Born in Glen Ridge to Herbert E. Roscoe and Jane C. Van Winkle, she lived a short time in Norristown, PA, and Bloomfield, NJ prior to moving to Pompton Lakes, where she resided for the majority of her life. Nancy met the love of her life, Patrick Boyle, on July 1, 1969, not long after she graduated from Pompton Lakes High School. On Pat's first day on the job, as a Pompton Lakes police officer, he went to the local eatery, where she worked as a waitress, to get an ice cream soda. They became fast friends and then dated for a couple of years before marrying on May 13, 1972. Pat was Nancy's everything and she was heartbroken when he passed away in October 2013.Even though she was in chronic pain for most of her adult life, she never complained and always tried to bring joy to the lives of others. Every time she was faced with a new obstacle, she overcame it. Nancy fought for what she believed was right and would always lend a helping hand when she could. She was a member of the PTA, a proud PLHS Band Parent, and regularly volunteered to help out when needed. She was also her daughter's biggest cheerleader and supported her in all of her endeavors - whether it was selling girl scout cookies, making hoagies for the PLHS band, trying new hobbies, volunteering, or various business ventures. Some of Nancy's proudest personal accomplishments were being a nurse (and graduating at the top of her nursing school class), serving as a Pompton Lakes councilwoman and her time volunteering with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates).

She loved spending time in Atlantic City with her family, watching true crime documentaries & ghost hunting shows, online shopping (a tad TOO much sometimes), taking random day trips and of course, her fur babies (cats).Nancy is survived by her loving daughter and best friend, Tracie Boyle Lawson, and son-in-law, David Lawson, of Riverdale, brother; Mark Roscoe and his wife Grace of Florida, sister-in-law; Cheryl Roscoe of Butler, four nieces; Danielle Roscoe of Butler, Nicole Beek of Bloomingdale, Tiffany Roscoe of Bloomingdale and Brittany Roscoe of Florida, five great-nieces and nephews and her extended Otero/Lawson family, who always welcomed her with open arms.
