Nancy Lynne (Schartner) Davey passed away unexpectedly on July 30th surrounded by her loving family. She was the daughter of the late Mary (Broadbridge) Schartner and John A. Schartner, of Schartner Farms in Exeter, RI. She was born in Clinton, MA on August 13, 1939 and graduated from North Kingstown High in 1957.

After spending many years at home raising her family, Nancy enjoyed a long and successful career as an Administrative Assistant at Canby Maloney CPA firm and at Babson College. She also worked in the family business at the former Wickford Flowers.

Nancy enjoyed some traveling in her life with her favorite destinations being Europe, Ireland, and Saratoga, New York. She cherished her time at the family lake house in Sterling MA with her children, grandchildren and extended family. In her later life, Nancy was active in the Plum Beach Garden Club in North Kingstown, RI.
