Nancy E. (Lake) age 80 of Walpole, formerly of Roslindale, passed away at her home on July 22, 2026. Beloved wife of the late Joseph P. Gorman, Jr. Loving mother of Lori Hamel and her husband Brian of Foxboro, Joseph P. Gorman III (BPD) of Walpole, and Jennifer Gorman and her fiancé Justin Fitzgerald of Walpole. Cherished sister of Albert E. Lake, Jr. and his late wife Helen, and the late Richard J. Lake. Nancy is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.

Nancy was known for her quick wit and dry humor by all who knew her. She loved family gatherings, a day trip to the casino, scratching her lottery tickets, a good lobster roll, the occasional T-Bone steak on the grill, and spending time with her new kitty, Paddy. Though she asked for little, she gave so much, and she will be dearly missed.
