Obituary

Nancy (Hodgkins) Caprio May 11, 1936 – February 22, 2025 PORTLAND- Nancy Jean (Hodgkins) Caprio, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on February 22, 2025, at the age of 88. Nancy was born in Fryeburg, Maine on May 11, 1936, to William & Katherine Hodgkins. She grew up in South Portland and graduated from South Portland High School in 1954. Nancy married the love of her life, John Caprio, with whom she shared countless adventures from memorable cruises, travels to exciting places like Hawaii & Italy, moving the family to Dover Foxcroft & Presque Isle, and spending lots of fun times in Florida and Little Sebago Lake. Her joyful spirit was complemented by her deep connections in the community; she was an active member of the Women's Riverside Golf Association, St. Peter's Sacred Heart Sodality, and donated hours at St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen. Whether she was spending afternoons playing cards with her friends or visiting with family, Nancy's warmth and generosity touched all who knew her. She was pre-deceased by husband John, her brothers William Hodgkins & John Hodgkins, and sister Joan Glascott. Nancy treasured every moment spent with her family and was so proud of her children and grandchildren. Nancy will be sadly missed by her daughter Carolann McLain (Tom), son John Caprio (Karen), son Bill Caprio (Beth), and daughter Katherine Caprio. She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren: T.J. McLain, Travis McLain, Chase Caprio (Annie Mitchell), Chelsea Roy (Colby), Ashley Caprio (Alex Juncosa), and Conner Caprio (Corrine). Nancy was excited to get to know her great-granddaughters who always brought a smile to her face: Evelyn Roy, Eleanor Roy, and Hazel Caprio. Nancy leaves behind her brother-in-law Ed Glascott, her sister-in-law Judy Casper, and many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins. Nancy's family would like to express their deep gratitude for the compassionate care and companionship provided by Azura Meadows, the team of caregivers at Gorham House, and Compassus Hospice whose kindness and support brought comfort during her final days. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 10 Am Wednesday February 26, 2025 at St. Peter's Catholic Church, 72 Federal Street in Portland. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen, or Compassus Living Foundation.
