Nancy L. DeGroat, 75, of Mt. Pleasant Township, passed away peacefully on Tuesday morning, January 10, 2023 at home. She was the loving wife of Byron L. DeGroat who survives her. Married on October 4, 1969, they shared more than 53 years together. Born on June 12, 1947 in Carbondale, she was the daughter of the late Harold and Ethel (Lee) Clark. Nancy graduated from Benjamin Franklin High School in Carbondale. In the early years of her marriage, she and Byron lived in Gravity, near Lake Ariel. In 1982, the family moved to Egypt Road in Northern Wayne County. Always committed to her family, Nancy worked at home, raising three beloved children.

After the children were grown, Nancy worked for Ladore Lodge & Conference Center of the Salvation Army in Waymart for 22 years prior to her retirement.
