Nancy was a wonderful mother whose unwavering support, wisdom, and love shaped the lives of her family. She was married to Theobald "Ted" Mathew McQueeney, who passed away on February 16, 1990. Together, they created a nurturing home filled with laughter and love, and they shared a special joy in dancing together, where their love flourished. Now reunited, they can once again hit the dance floor and twirl to the music they cherished. Her passions included gardening, where she found solace and joy among her flowers, and sewing, crafting beautiful pieces for her family and friends. Nancy also loved swimming and bowling, often sharing these activities with her loved ones. She dedicated many years to babysitting in Accokeek, MD, where she became a beloved figure in the community, known for her gentle spirit and nurturing heart. Nancy is survived by her children: JoAnn Kolb (Brian), Colleen McQueeney, Michael "Mike" McQueeney, Patrick "Pat" McQueeney (Laura Lee), Debora "Debbie" Drake (Steve), and Kathleen "Kathy" DePhillip (Buddy).

She is also survived by her siblings: Shirley Daniels and Jean Nelson, along with her late brothers George, Thomas, and Robert Lee Taylor. An alumna of Eastern High School, Nancy devoted her life to being a dedicated homemaker, creating a loving environment that fostered family bonds and cherished memories.
