Obituary

Nancy Curtin Gerstel of Medfield, formerly of Needham passed away peacefully on August 17, 2023 in the company of family.

Born to Robert and Eileen Curtin on March 29, 1949, she grew up in Needham and graduated from Needham High School. She worked a variety of professions in her life ranging from teacher’s aide to court transcriptionist, retiring as a project specialist for FM Approvals.

She was a generous giver of her time to people she cared about, from Scouting when her kids were young, to the Medfield Senior Center during her retirement years. She practiced fellowship through baked goods and was always the first to welcome a new neighbor with a coffee cake. She was a lover of lobster rolls and hot fudge sundaes with marshmallow instead of whipped cream. She embraced the life of baseball and softball grandmother, traveling with Bob to watch her grandchildren play at home and away. She was always ready for a good game of cribbage, 313, or scat.

She is survived by her companion Robert Heald of Medifled, children Tom (Kara) of Atlanta, GA, Chris (Katie) of Needham, brother Bob (Charlene), sister Linda (David), and adored grandchildren CJ and Ellie.

The family will receive friends during a visitation Thursday, August 25 from 5pm through 7pm at Roberts Mitchell Caruso Funeral Home, 15 Miller St., Medfield, MA 02052. A service will be held at the Funeral Home, 10:00 am Friday August 25th.
