Nancy A. Costello

Nancy A. Costello, 68, lost her battle to cancer Sunday, July 13, at her home in Loganville surrounded by her loving family.  She was born October 1, 1951 in Hempstead, New York daughter of Millicent & Harold Mehler.  Nancy attended Bayport High School, Bayport, NY and graduated in 1969.  Following her graduation, Nancy married her high school sweetheart, Joseph Costello, and relocated to Palm Beach, Florida, where she was employed by AT&T.  Following her divorce, she transferred to the Atlanta area in 1983 where she raised her family and worked in telecommunications until her retirement in 2008. Nancy is survived by her three devoted children, Julie Costello and Jennifer Koutny of Loganville, and Kenneth Costello of Lawrenceville; granddaughters Loren and Kaitlyn Costello, and grandsons Christopher Koutny and Liam Costello.  She also leaves behind her brother and sister-in-law, Kenneth & Marjorie Mehler, of Portland, CT, nephew Matthew, and daughter-in-law MaryAnn Mehler of Acton, MA, and nephew Kenneth Mehler of Portland, CT, four great-nieces: Molly, Mia, Ellie & Brooke Mehler, and one grandnephew, William Mehler.  She was predeceased by her brother, Gerald Mehler, US Navy. Nancy was a devoted mother to her family and always put their needs above her own.  She enjoyed the beach, gardening, playing games with her family, and particularly loved "Kaitlyn & Grammie's Excellent Adventures" and watching her grandchildren play sports.  She and her brother Ken shared a special bond.
