Gabriella Nagy's Obituary
Gabriella Nagy, age 89, of Lake Worth, FL, died at her home following a short, courageous battle against cancer on Tuesday, March 3, 2015. She was predeceased in 1985 by her husband of 30 years, Sandor Nagy Sr.
Gabriella was born in Banokszentgyorgy, Hungary on August 28, 1925, daughter of the late Peter & Karolina Mate. She graduated from high school and also completed post graduate training, later performing duties after WWII in Hungary, as a pediatric visiting nurse. She left Hungary after the Hungarian Revolution and came to the USA, residing in Connecticut as a wife and homemaker, raising her 3 children, into her retirement years. She later moved to Florida in 1995. She was an active member of the local Lake Worth Hungarian community and club until her death.
She was a communicant of St. Luke's Church in Lake Worth. She was an avid walker and could be seen walking the grounds of her home in Lake Clarke Gardens as well as the surrounding neighborhood. She loved cooking and baking, as well as music and dancing. She was an avid card game enthusiast, crossword and jigsaw puzzle solver, and gardener. She loved life, her family, and traveling.
She is survived by a daughter, Agnes Smythe of California; sons, Sandor Jr. and his wife Zsuzsanna of Connecticut and Peter and his wife Diana, of California; five grandchildren, Kevin and Eric Nagy of Connecticut and Mia Nagy, Katie & Allie Smythe of California. She is also survived by relatives remaining in Hungary, including a loving brother, Elemer and his wife, Mechtild, and also several nieces and nephews; multiple close dear friends, including those at the Lake Clarke Gardens, and the Hungarian club.
Family will greet friends from 3p.m. to 4p.m. on Thursday, March 5th at the Palm Beach National Chapel, 10055 Heritage Farms Road, Lake Worth with a Celebration of Gabriella's Life to follow 4p.m.
