Cumberland - Nancy N. (Maculan) Sweeney, 88, passed away on Tuesday, May 16, 2023 at home surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of Thomas C. Sweeney of Cumberland.
Born in Woonsocket, daughter of the late Benjamin and Clara (Jastrzebski) Maculan, she was a graduate of Woonsocket High School and Becker Junior College where she belonged to the Kappa Omicron Kappa Society.

Her husband, Tom, a Marine serving in the Korean War, received a copy of his home town newspaper. When he saw her picture in the paper, he knew she was “the one” and they would marry. They exchanged letters for 8 months, met when he returned home on leave, and married in a beautiful military wedding one year later.
