In Memorium: Rumson Resident Nancy Fell-Hill, 59

“We will miss Nancy with the laughing face.”

That’s how the loved ones of Nancy Fell-Hill described the 59-year-old Rumson resident who passed away at her home on Dec. 22 at 59.

“Nancy truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; shopping with friends, going to the beach, hosting game nights, and spending time with her family and pets,” they reminisced in her obituary.
