Nancy Jean
Hartley
July 2, 2021
Nancy Jean Coulter Hartley, 78, Haverhill, passed away peacefully at home in a beautiful setting where her family provided constant care and comfort during the last few weeks of her life on Friday July 2, 2021. She will be greatly missed by many.
She was born in Cambridge, NY October 2, 1942, to Donald H. and Thelma (Lant) Coulter, their 5 th child and only daughter. Nancy grew up attending schools in East Dorset, VT and Cambridge, NY. In 1958 she met a young Army private from Piermont, NH and they were married June 2, 1959. Together Nancy and Ernie had three children, Cindy, Ernie Jr, and Annette.
After leaving the military they moved their family back to Piermont. Although they relocated several times, Piermont was always their home and where they eventually settled.
Nancy always had a large garden and enjoyed canning during the summer months. She enjoyed watching her children play sports and was always in attendance at their sporting events. The joy of her life was her five grandchildren whom she loved spending time with. There were so many weekend sleepovers at "Mimi's farmhouse" which was always a highlight for both grandchildren and grandmother. Regardless of their never-ending antics, she was always delighted that they wanted to stay. Her favorite mantra (which was readily welcomed by the children) was " what happens at Mimi's house, stays at Mimi' house!"
Nancy had a strong faith and was a member of the Piermont Congregational Church and participated for many years in their bible study group.
Nancy retired from DHMC at the age of 70. During her 17 years there, she developed many great lifelong friendships.
After retirement, Nancy sold her farmhouse and moved to Haverhill, NH. She watched her grandchildren get married and have children of their own and was the even prouder great-grandmother of nine.
Nancy is survived by her children; Cindy & Rob Daley of New London, NH., Ernie & Pam Hartley of Piermont, and Annette & David White of Bradford, VT, her grandchildren and their families, Heather Daley Baade, husband Blake, children, August and Harrison of Newmarket, NH, Ashely O'Donnell Osgood, husband Chad, children, Jayde, Byrklee, and Brantley of Fountain, NC, Dana Hartley, wife Jasmine, children, Aspen and Lane of Piermont, NH, Derrick O'Donnell, wife Abby, children Landyn and Claetyn of North Haverhill, Geoffrey Daley and wife Katie of New London.
Nancy was predeceased by her parents, five brothers; Donald Coulter, Laverne Coulter, Jerome Coulter, Denver Coulter and Forrest Coulter, and her best friend and ex-husband, Ernie Hartley, Sr.
A memorial service for Nancy will be on Monday July 12, 2021, at 10 AM at the Piermont Congregational Church, 101 Church St. Piermont, NH followed by interment at the South Lawn Cemetery in Piermont.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Piermont Congregational Church, PO Box 95, Piermont, NH 03779.
The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude and thanks to Dr. Patricia Min of DHMC and the Bayada Hospice for their loving care and support.
