Nancy Langton-Christians,79, died on Friday April 7, 2017.

Nancy is survived by her loving husband, Rolland Christians, her beloved sons Timothy Murnane and Gregory Murnane of Boston, her adored grandchildren, Jennifer Noonan and Nicholas Noonan of Boston and Milton, her son-in-law Christopher Noonan of Milton, and many other family and friends. Nancy is pre-deceased by her parents, William and Clara Langton, her sister, Ethel Hultin, her daughter, Clarisa (Lisa) Noonan and her son, Matthew Murnane.

Born in Nantucket and raised in Dorchester, Nancy graduated from Boston College and began a teaching career while raising her family of 4 children. Nancy was exceptionally skilled in many ways, particularly with space planning and design, which later in life allowed her to have a career in interior design and develop many properties. Lovingly known as “Nana” to many, she loved cooking, knitting, telling stories, and being with dear friends and family. She was an avid reader, and watching Jeopardy was a “must” every night. Her warmth, impeccable taste and fearless drive pervaded everything and everyone she touched, and she will be missed immensely. She is now reunited in peace and love with her cherished loved ones who have passed on before her.
