Anne C. "Nancy" (Cain) Lang

 Anne C. Lang, known to family and friends as Nancy, passed away peacefully on December 26, 2025, at the Springhouse in Jamaica Plain, surrounded by care and comfort. Nancy was born in Jamaica Plain on July 29, 1941, to Anne (Ginty) and Charles Cain, and remained deeply rooted in the communities she loved throughout her life.

A devoted and loving mother, Nancy raised her three children—Cindy, Karen, and John—first in Hyde Park and later in West Roxbury, where she made her home for over 40 years. She created a warm and welcoming household filled with love, dedication, and quiet strength.

Nancy found great joy in traveling with her beloved husband of 25 years, Robert A. Lang, who predeceased her in 2009. Together they treasured time spent along the coasts of Maine, Cape Cod, and any place near the water, where Nancy felt most at peace.

With a compassionate heart and a steady presence, Nancy worked as a Registered Nurse in the labor and delivery unit at Brigham and Women’s Hospital for more than 20 years, helping to welcome countless new lives into the world. In retirement, she cherished the precious years she spent caring for her grandchildren, a role that brought her deep fulfillment and happiness.

Nancy is survived by her daughters, Cynthia M. Garron and her husband Ken of Plymouth, Karen A. O’Donnell of Belmont, and her son John M. O’Donnell and his wife Kristin of West Roxbury. Cherished grandmother (Nana) of Abby, Alex, Maggie, Tim, Dillon, Izzie, and Emma. Dear sister of the late Margaret Callahan of Norfolk. Much loved niece of the late Sisters Catherine and Margaret Ginty, CSJ.

Nancy will be lovingly remembered for her quiet strength, determination, and perseverance, and for the love she so generously gave to her family.
