Nancy B. Ober, 65, Vero Beach

Nancy B. Ober, 65, of Vero Beach and formerly of Ashland, N.H., passed away peacefully on May 21, 2016, after a brief illness.

She is survived by her husband Glen Ober of Vero Beach; daughters Sarah Ober of Thomaston, Maine, Abigail Wolfgram of Vero Beach, and Rebecca Ober of Portland, Maine; grandchildren Sebastian and Stella Wolfgram of Vero Beach; mother Helen Brown of New Bedford, Mass.; brother John Brown of New Bedford, Mass.; best friends Susan Longley of Ashland, N.H., and Charlene Hochman of New Bedford, Mass., and too many friends to list.

She was preceded in death by her father Harold Brown; granddaughter Ava Wolfgram; and duet partner John Longley, Sr.

Ober was an educator for more than 40 years having taught in the Ashland, Newfound, Plymouth and Winnisquam School Districts in New Hampshire and SunCoast Academy and Indian River State College in Florida. She inspired her students and colleagues. She loved being a teacher and cherished those memories.

He was a loving wife to Glen and mother to Sarah, Abigail, and Rebecca and adoring nana to Sebastian and Stella. She was able to fill a room with laughter and love. She was never short on stories of her time in the classroom or time spent with her family and friends.

Happiness seemed to follow Ober wherever she went whether she was playing a prank at the beach, leading a Fourth of July routine, or practicing handstands in the pool. She will be dearly missed by all.

While this is a time of sadness for those who love Nancy, we know she’d prefer to be remembered during times of laughter being surrounded by family and friends.
