Nanci J. Kasischke's Obituary
Nanci Jean Kasischke, 63 of Methuen, passed away Thursday, March 25, 2021 at Mass General Hospital due to complications from heart surgery.
Nanci was born August 5, 1957 to Thomas and Jeanne (Hogan) Minghella and grew up in Andover, MA. She was a 1975 graduate of Andover High School. Post high school, she worked in various business positions for Andover Medical, Medtronic, Lotus, Globalware Solutions, and OEM Connect.
Nanci was a wonderful woman that was loved, is missed, and will always be cherished.

She would say her greatest accomplishment in life was raising her children.
