Nancy Jane Connell

December 18, 1941 ~ September 27, 2025

Nancy Jane Connell (McDonald / Vermillion) 12/18/41 – 10/27/25

It is with deep sadness we mourn the passing of our Mother / Grandmother / Sister Nancy Jane Connell. She was preceded in death by her parents Nile and Jane Vermillion, sister Linda Fedewa and husband John Connell. She is survived by her sisters Andrea Taylor of Los Alamos, NM, Barbara Hollembaek of Las Vegas, NV and her two sons and their spouses Scott & Lisa McDonald of Los Lunas, NM and Eric & Enikö McDonald of Mount Pleasant, NC as well as her Grandson Liam McDonald of Loveland, CO.

Nancy was born in St Joseph, MO on December 18th, 1941 and was raised in the Greater Lansing, MI area. Over the years since then her wandering spirit and love of a good road trip had carried her from coast to coast and a multitude of places she called home.

I believe her true love of the Rocky Mountains with the varied beauty they possess as well as the desert Southwest, the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Ocean inspired her love of exploration and adventure.

The last several months of her journey allowed her to connect and spend time with her grandson. He was her caregiver and confidant. It was an invaluable experience for them both.

Nancy will be truly missed but I find comfort in knowing she is in the loving embrace of the Lord now.

Her final wishes, to have her ashes combined with her beloved husbands’ and spread in one of her favorite locations, will be carried out by her grandson Liam.

There will be no formal services surrounding her passing.

Condolence

  • The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

  • Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
