Nancy Hook, 87, passed away peacefully with family by her side April 24.
Nancy was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she met, fell in love with and married her one and only love David Hook. In the early years of their marriage they moved frequently for David’s career but settled in Middletown where they raised their four children.
Nancy was an amazing mother who encouraged, supported and actively participated in her children’s individual interests. Her support didn’t stop there. As adults she dried our tears, supported every decision we made, celebrated our successes and provided love every step of the way.
Nancy enjoyed entertaining and spending time with her neighbors and friends. There wasn’t an art or craft that she didn’t master. She had a heart of gold and a will of steel.
She was predeceased by her parents, Cornelius and Marguerite (White) Bergers; her husband David S. Hook; her sister Brenda Roodvoets; and her son-in-law Paul Chandler.
She is survived by her “children,” Kenyon, Kevin, Cindy, Dana, Coleen, Denise and Kathy; her grandchildren, Amanda and Brian, Alyssa and Drew, Justin, Jessica and Kyle, Tristin, Rachael and Dianna; as well as her four great-grandchildren, Reily, Evan, Ben and Kyle Jr.
All arrangements are private and under the direction of the John E. Day Funeral Home, Red Bank.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Nancy’s memory to the Fairview First Aid Squad or to the charity of your choice.
