HAVERHILL: Nancy A. (McCrackin) Doe, 89, passed away peacefully in her sleep at her home on January 10, 2025. Nancy was the loving wife of the late Ken Doe for 63 years.

Born in Jenkins, KY on September 9, 1935, she was the daughter of the late Glenn and Vivian (Hillman) McCrackin. Nancy moved to Uniontown, PA with her family at the age of six, where she remained until going to college.

Nancy graduated from Uniontown's North Union High School before continuing her education at Barrington College in RI, where Nancy met and later married Ken. Nancy's duties as a mother soon followed and she postponed her career until the kids were older, working for 25 years as a second-grade teacher in Sandown, NH. Nancy touched many lives during her tenure there, both colleagues and students, developing numerous lifelong relationships.

Nancy enjoyed all activities involving West Congregational Church, such as participating in the women's bible study and acting as church librarian. She was an avid reader of various genres. Nancy and Ken enjoyed traveling, and annual stays in Florida during the winter. She loved her fleet of cocker spaniels, including Mandy who was her constant companion. Nancy's sister-in-law Delores lived in the same house, and we sincerely appreciate the care and comfort she provided.

Nancy was dedicated to her family and her Christian values. Nancy is survived by her children, Cher Spaulding and her husband David of Haverhill, Stan Doe, and his wife Lisa of Haverhill; six grandchildren; eight great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Nancy was the sister of Harold McCrackin and his wife Esther, and the late Glenn McCrackin and his wife Delores.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a memorial service on Saturday, January 25, 2025 at 1:00pm, at West Congregational Church. Donations in Nancy's memory may be made to West Church Music Ministry, 767 Broadway, Haverhill, MA 01832. Arrangements under the direction of Dole, Childs & Shaw Funeral Home, 148 Main St., Haverhill. Messages of condolence may be sent to www.dcsfuneralhome.com
