Nancy Baldwin Prescott

Nancy Baldwin Prescott died on Sunday, June 22, 2014. She was 87. Nancy was born in Hamilton, Ontario, the younger daughter of David Kilvert Baldwin and Patricia Peck Baldwin. Her family moved to Montreal when she was a young girl. She attended The Study, and King's Hall, Compton, P.Q. Her older sister, the late Diana Baldwin Neale (Arthur Neale), and Nancy were close. They spoke daily working on the NY Times crossword puzzle. Undoubtedly the highlight of Nancy's life was during the time they both lived in Keeseville, New York. Nancy met her husband the late Roger B. Prescott, Jr. at the St. Andrew's Ball in Montreal, Quebec. She married Roger in 1953, moved to Keeseville, NY where they lived for 41 years. She and Roger loved the outdoors, played endless golf and spent many memorable trips fly fishing and hunting in Quebec. Although Nancy proudly became an American Citizen in 1967, she never lost her love of all things Canadian. Nancy served as a Director of Resort Enterprises (Polar Caves Park) Rumney, NH, The AuSable Chasm Company, The Keeseville Free Library and the Friends of Keeseville. Nancy is predeceased by her husband Roger B. Prescott, Jr, her son Roger B.
