October 03, 2013

Nancy DeFreitas, 52, passed peacefully Thursday morning, October 3, 2013, at Hospice & Community Care in Mount Joy. Born in New Brunswick, NJ, she was the daughter of the late Arthur and Marie DeFreitas.

Nancy’s humor and fierce loyalty to her family, friends, and caretakers left lasting impressions on those who knew her. She enjoyed spending time with her friends at Excentia and particularly loved playing with her great-nephews and great-nieces.

Nancy is survived by a brother, Russell DeFreitas, husband of Patricia, of Easton, PA and two sisters, Sangeet Kaur, wife of Sangeet Singh Khalsa, of Herndon, VA, and Janice, wife of Luis Torres, of Lancaster, PA, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by a brother, James DeFreitas.

A Visitation will be held on Sunday, October 6, 2013 from 6-8 PM at the Charles F. Snyder, Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543.

My condolences to the DeFreitas family.  May you find comfort from God’s word at Ecclesiastes 9:5 regarding the loss of your loved one.  It shows how she is in no pain, she is like in a deep sleep, hoping to be in God’smemory, so that she may be brought back to life soon.  Yes you may be able to see Ms. Nancy again, doing what she loved and you enjoying her again.  Please find some comfort from this, you and your loved one, in the difficult days ahead.
