REMEMBERING NANCY ALDOUS - MARKET AFICIONADO AND ALL-AROUND AMAZING WOMAN

4/21/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
​We are so sad to hear that Nancy Aldous, a longtime customer and dear friend, died a few days ago.  She was 83.  Nancy was a trooper! She came to the Market no matter what the weather and always had a bright smile and a certain mischievous look.  Nancy received the governor’s special recognition service award for her years of volunteering in Maryland.  She was well known for her service in our community and for always trying to help those in need. Nancy, who lived in Damascus, leaves behind two sons, Bradley and Travis. A celebration of her life is planned for later this spring.
