Nancy Emrick

Nancy Tinnel Emrick, 63, of Saco, Maine, and formerly of Hopkinton, passed away Jan. 14 surrounded by her children and a close friend.

Nancy was a generous, kind, thoughtful woman who always put others ahead of herself. She was an animal lover, enjoyed spending time on the ocean, and was looking forward to putting down roots on the coast of Maine.

She is survived by her daughter, Stephanie, son, Adrian, three brothers, Jeffrey, Steven and Russell and their spouses, and two sisters, Lisa and Donna and their spouses.

Family and friends are welcome to honor her memory at a memorial service at the Hopkinton Center for the Arts on Saturday, Feb. 10, at 3 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her honor to Maine’s Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland (arlgp.org) in honor of her great love for animals.
