It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nancy Lind. She passed away unexpectedly on July 20, 2025. Nancy was born on September 15, 1942, and was a long-time resident of Billerica MA, but spent her younger years in Dorchester, then Malden.

Nancy worked for many years at Analog Devices, where she met some of her best friends. She also worked for Corning Lasertron, Dunkin Donuts and catering and making cakes with her daughter Shirley.

Nancy is survived by her daughters Kathy Randall and Shirley Guthrie & boyfriend John Binda, her grandchildren Jennifer Randall & boyfriend Joe Wisher, Noelle Horan, Crystal Cunningham, and preceded in death by Jimmy Horan. Nancy is also survived by her son-in-law, Charlie Guthrie, her dear friends Diane and Jodi, Pat, Doris, Louanne and Jeri.

Nancy's final days were filled with love, and she was surrounded by people who cherished her most. She was known for her kindness, strength, generosity and spirited personality. She enjoyed taking care of others and making people feel special. She loved to cook and bake and would do so for family and friends.

Nancy loved the beach, watching golf, reading, playing her "numbers", gardening a game of cribbage and a good cup of tea. She was beautiful and never went out without her "red" lipstick on. She never missed and thoughtfully sent cards on birthdays and Christmas. Nancy will be remembered as a devoted mother, Nana and Friend. She will be deeply missed by her family and ALL who knew her. We love you "a bushel and a peck!"

Friends and Family are welcome to attend a Celebration of Nancy's life on Sunday, August 3rd at 4:30 p.m. at Tremezzo Restaurante, 2 Lowell Street, Wilmington, MA 01887. Please wear something red.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
