Nancy attended St. Patrick’s School and graduated from Padua Academy in 1960. Nancy married Joseph McKinley and moved to West Deptford, NJ, where they raised their 5 children. Nancy and Joe moved back to Wilmington in 1986 to be closer to her family. Nancy started working for her brother-in-law as a bookkeeper for Christiana Excavating, where she worked for the last 34 years. Our mom loved spending time with her family. Christmas was her favorite holiday and she’d spend months preparing for the big day. Nancy also loved “Law & Order”, playing the slot machines, and bingo.

She is survived by her son Patrick McKinley, daughters Kelli McNeil (Kevin), Kathleen Molloy (Joseph), Kerry Gray (LD), Kristi McKinley (Mike DeSantis) and stepson Kevin McKinley.
