Nancy ( Brabant ) Cantafio, 48, of Soo Township severed the last
bonds holding her to this world on Sept 27, 2010 in Hospice Care at
Hearthside Assisted Living Center in Sault.Ste. Marie, after
fighting an amazing battle with cancer.
Nancy was born in 1962, in Sault Ste Marie Michigan to Francis and
Margaret Brabant and was the seventh of ten children and the
youngest daughter. She attended and graduated from Soo Township
Elementary School and Sault High School. She moved to Horicon,
Wisconsin where she received certifications in Culinary Arts and
Computer Sciences.
While in Wisconsin, Nancy met Joseph Cantafio and had three sons;
Jordan, Francis and Joey. Nancy returned to Sault Ste Marie in 1997
and just prior to Joe's death and purchased the property next to her
childhood home, first living in a trailer and later purchasing a
modular home on the site. This home was destroyed by fire in 2005
then Nancy and her family and friends proceeded to build a nicer
home on the site from scratch.
Nancy's latest job was as a cook at the Cozy Inn in Brimley,
Michigan and prior to that she was the third shift foreperson at
Wohlert Special Products and a CNC Machinist. She also ran an
Inspirational Group and a Computer Help Group on YahooGroups that
had approximately 7500 readers between them. While juggling work,
her online groups and just life in general she always had time for
her sons and her family.
Nancy is survived by her three sons, Jordan, Francis and Joseph
Cantafio and one grandchild Khloe.
She is also survived by five brothers, William, Donald, Robert,
Ronald, and Douglas and three sisters, Cathy, Lisa,and Mary. Nancy
also had a dog, a teddy bear named Jordy, that was at her side
through her illness.
Nancy was predeceased by her husband Joseph, her daughter Lydia, her
brother Patrick, and her parents Margaret and Francis.
Nancy has requested that her body be donated to Michigan State
University to aid in the research of cancer with her cremains to be
buried at a future date in the Raco Cemetery alongside her daughter.
A memorial service is planned to start at 4 p.m. on Saturday,
October 2nd at Soo Township Hall. There will be a rememberance
followed by a meal.
The family would like to thank Hospice, Hearthside Assisted Living,

comfort and assistance to Nancy and the family through her final
days.
