Together again

BRUNSWICK - Nancy J. Praznik, 87, passed away peacefully on Tuesday morning, Oct. 20, 2026, at Brunswick Pointe Transitional Care, close to her daughter, Lynn.

Nancy was a 1956 graduate of Hubbard High School and a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Hubbard.

She worked for many years as a secretary for Dr. Cannone, retiring in the mid-1980s.

Nancy was a proud member of the Hubbard Garden Club, an organization she truly enjoyed being part of. She was also a member of the FT.

A wonderful cook, Nancy found great joy in preparing meals and bringing her loved ones together; she loved having a Christmas Eve party every year for her loving family and friends. She enjoyed weekend getaways to Conneaut Lake with her husband, George, where they shared many happy memories. Above all, Nancy cherished her family and the time they spent together.

Nancy was preceded in death by her beloved husband, George Praznik, whom she married on Dec. 25, 1956; and her parents.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date for immediate family in Conneaut, where the family had a summer home in Evergreen Lake Park. Also, a Celebration of Life will be held in Florida.

Nancy’s final resting place will be in Hubbard Union Cemetery, where she will be reunited with her husband George.
