Nancy Ann Field
October 4, 1956 — January 27, 2025
Nancy was born on October 4, 1956 and grew up in Syosset, New York. She was graduated from Syosset High School in 1974. She was graduated from the University at Albany in 1978, where she also obtained a Masters Degree in Educational Psychology & Statistics in 1982 and in 2003, a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology.
Nancy maintained an office in Rutland, Vermont for her psychology practice from 2003 through 2021. She was a member of the American Psychological Association and the Vermont Psychological Association. With the pandemic, Nancy closed the office in Rutland, maintaining a thriving telepsychology practice until December. Nancy loved working with clients and helping them to navigate their lives.
Nancy married Kevin in 1996 and honeymooned on the Long Trail. She was an avid hiker and student of all birds and animals (She called them “critters.”) A voracious reader, she particularly enjoyed classic literature and was genuinely peeved when movie and television adaptions cut corners or changed plot lines. Nancy welcomed a good game of Scrabble, and won more often than not. Weekdays, Nancy particularly enjoyed watching “Jeopardy” with Kevin, who inexplicably did not share her decades-long passion for “Days of Our Lives.”
Nancy was predeceased by her father, Benjamin Field, in 1990, her mother, Mary Field, in 2010, and her younger brother, Roger Field, in 2013. Apart from her husband, Nancy is survived by cousins Susan Field of Sag Harbor, New York and her husband, Jack Vankovics, Adele Field of Bloomfield, New York and her husband, Stephen O’Connell, as well as other cousins on Long Island. Individuals whose friendships Nancy valued deeply include Alice Scott, Joy Frank, Denise Cornwall, Claire North, Laura Schroeder, Kathryn Tracy, Amy Feiden and Daryl Hyde.
Nancy appreciated organization and attention to detail. Thoughtful and kind, she never failed to jot off a quick thank you note or card, or to reach out to relatives, friends and colleagues. To borrow from a writing at The Mount, author Edith Wharton’s summer home where she and Kevin visited annually, Nancy was “unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways.”
A private “green” burial at Maple Hill Cemetery occurred on Thursday, January 30, 2025, officiated by Fr. Hugh Cleary of St. John the Baptist Parish. A memorial Mass, officiated by Fr. William Beaudin of Christ Our Savior Parish will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, February 28, 2025 at Christ Our Savior Parish in Manchester, Vermont. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Bennington County Humane Society.
