Nancy Arlene (Breare) Menyhert, a resident of West Roxbury for 52 years, passed peacefully at her home on August 11, 2015. She was 80. Nancy was born June 8, 1935 in Quincy, Massachusetts, the daughter of Joseph and Ilmi (Puskala) Breare. She earned her Bachelor and Master’s degrees from the University of Massachusetts in Boston and worked as a medical technologist for a state hospital and at the West Roxbury VA Hospital before working as a CPA and federal auditor in the Office of the Inspector General in the Department of Health and Human Services for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Nancy was also the family caregiver, taking care of a brother and her mother in their years of declining health. She enjoyed travelling and spoiling her grandchildren. Nancy is survived by her son, Robert W. Menyhert, and his wife Sharon, of Westwood; her two grandsons, Kyle and Andrew Menyhert; and a sister, Sandra Doss. She was the sister of the late Elaine Fowler, John Breare, George Breare, Joseph Breare and Robert Breare. Visiting hours will be held Thursday, August 13th from 4 to 8 PM at the Folsom Funeral Home, 649 High Street, Westwood. Relatives and friends are invited to attend her funeral Friday at 11:30 am at the funeral home. After cremation, private interment will be in New Westwood Cemetery.
I am so surprised and so sorry to hear about Nancy. Growing up, even though there were so many miles between us, Nancy always reached out to David and I and that made us feel close and loved. I’ve always appreciated her for that.
Kyle and Andrew: anytime I think of Nancy I always think about you because I was so struck by how genuinely joyful she seemed when she talked about you two. It was so apparent how much she loved you both.
I remember how Andrew used to call her Ditty. And I remember Bobby always called her Mumsy. It’s hard to believe she’s gone.
Bobby, Sharon, Kyle and Andrew, I feel for you all and I am so very, very sorry.
With love,
Cheryl
