Nancy Philpot's Obituary
Nancy Mae Currie Philpot, 1942-2024
Nancy was born to Stephen & Carolyn (Roundy) Currie, on September 3rd, 1942, on her grandmother's farm in East Haven, Vermont, while her father was serving overseas in WWII. Nancy grew up in Littleton and Bethlehem, New Hampshire, excelling artistically, academically, and on the basketball court; graduating valedictorian of her class.
Nancy married Stephen Philpot on July 8th, 1961, and they moved to Washington, D.C. to begin married life. Two sons, Shawn and Eric, were born there before they returned to New England, living a few years in Littleton, New Hampshire, and South Royalton, Vermont, then finally settling in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. After their boys were grown, Nancy & Steve made their escape to Florida to start a new chapter. Nancy went to work at Clearwater National Bank and over the next two decades, worked her way up to becoming a trust officer at Regions Bank, a position she retired from in 2010. Nancy & Steve enjoyed their retirement, especially spending time with their grandchildren in Florida & California and visiting family and friends in Connecticut, Maine, Vermont, and Georgia. A proud Virgo, Nancy's home was always immaculate with "a place for everything, and everything in its place". She had impeccable taste and style, with a natural flair for color, thoughtfully selecting each and every piece she added to her home. She loved Christmas and her tree was a marvel to behold.
Nancy was predeceased by her parents; two brothers; Stephen and Richard; sister-in-law Lynn Currie; brother-in-law Thomas Lehan; and cousin Valerie Lynch Buck. Nancy is survived by her husband of 63 years, Stephen Philpot; sons, Shawn (Patricia) Philpot of Manchester, Connecticut and Eric (Heather) Philpot of Simi Valley, California; sister Susan Lehan and brother-in-law Ron Veno of Skowhegan, Maine; brother James (Sheryl) Currie of Wagran, North Carolina; and sister Patricia (Frank) Stedman of Brunswick, Georgia; granddaughters Jordan, Sarah, Brittany and Miranda Philpot and grandson Evan Philpot; Great grandson Shaquille Amaree Davis; nephews Jeremy Lehan and Kyle Currie; nieces Sachiko Currie, Caroline Lehan Hayward, Carolyn Currie Miller, and Ashley Currie Ritchie; her Vermont cousins and dear friends Natalie & Roger Lagasse, Madeline & Theron Manning and Marvourine LeBlanc.
