Obituary of Nancy Allan

Nancy Allan (nee Littauer), 89, of Forked River passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 28, 2024, with her loving family beside her. The daughter of Kalman J. and Helen Littauer, she was raised on a farm in Warwick, NY. Nancy attended Tenafly High School, Tenafly NJ, class of 1953. She went on to graduate from Hackensack School of Nursing as a Registered Nurse in 1956. She began her nursing career as a summer camp nurse in New Hampshire where she met George, and they married in 1959. From their apartment in Union City, they moved to Pine Beach and later settled in Toms River where they raised three boys. She spent most of her career as an Emergency Room nurse at Community Memorial Hospital in Toms River, building lifelong friendships and memorable stories, before retiring in 1996. She devoted her life to her three sons, providing unconditional love, advice and friendship. After her youngest son James was injured in a car accident, she remained at his side and in his corner, allowing him a second chance at life. Nancy always made time to help anyone in need or to lend an ear, just to listen, and was always most comfortable surrounded by her boys and their friends. She loved to craft homemade items, read, garden and enjoyed time relaxing with her family. Nancy was pre-deceased by her parents, sister Barbara Allio, brother Kenneth Littauer, ex-husband George and her son James. She is survived by her sons Geordie (Kerrianne) and Rob (Susan), grandchildren Jeff (Liz), Ricky and Riley, great grandchildren Austin, Jaiden and Gray, great-great grandchild Clara, brother-in-law Robert Allio, nephews Mark and Michael Allio and niece Lindsey Littauer. Everyone that knew her knew she was a great friend and loving mother. Her family and friends will always remember her sense of humor, kindness, tenacity and selfless, altruistic nature. Please remember her in your own special way, but always with a warm smile or gentle thought. Immediate services will be private with a future gathering to be announced.
