Nancy C. Giza, of Goshen, NY, passed away on October 23, 2017 at Park Manor Rehabilitation Center, Middletown. She was 80 years old.
Born on May 15, 1937 in Montclair, NJ, she was the daughter of the late John and Emma Williams.
She was married to the late Barney S. Giza (2005).
As her husband Barney traveled with the Army, Nancy lived in various places throughout the world during the 1960’s. For most of the rest of her life, she lived in Goshen, raised her children and co-owned a tavern.
She was active in the Goshen VFW Ladies Auxiliary and Christ Episcopal Church of Warwick. At times, she was a columnist for The Warwick Dispatch.
Her fondness for cats, calligraphy, music and discussing political history were surpassed only by her love for her sons, daughter-in-laws, and grandchildren.
Survivors include her three sons: John Giza and his wife Leigh of Bristow, VA, Joseph Giza and his wife Susan of Wurtsboro, NY, and Jim Giza and his wife Kerry of Sutton, MA; and her grandchildren: Heather, Jennifer, David and Alexandra.
