MRS. NANCY C. COSGROVE
AGE 93 YEARS
Mrs. Nancy C. (Carr) Cosgrove died on July 22, 2017.
Nancy and her late husband, Robert C. Cosgrove, resided in South Orleans, MA, until 2003.
Nancy was born in Springfield, Ohio. The family later moved to Chicago where, as a young girl, she studied drawing at the Art Institute, but her true vocation was singing. She began studying voice at age 15 and later sang oratorio and recital engagements.
Her big break came in the late 40's when she was offered a radio and television guest appearance singing on two weekly coast-to-coast broadcasts over WGN radio Chicago, formerly known as "The Chicago Theater of the Air" which featured musical shows from Broadway to the Grand Opera, and Ms. Carr's featured program entitled, "The Enchanted Hour".
After marrying Robert Cosgrove in a small ceremony in Chicago, the couple immediately moved to Boston and later Cincinnati, where Nancy joined the faculty of the College Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati, where she taught voice for 16-years. Students of Nancy Carr have remained in contact throughout her life.
Nancy appeared as a soloist with major symphony orchestras in cities across the United States such as Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Detroit, and many others. She was a soloist with Bruno Walter for 5-years, singing the works of Brahms, Mozart, and Mahler. In later years, Nancy taught at the Hyannis, Massachusetts branch of the New England Conservatory of Music until her retirement in 1982.
Nancy is survived by her only son, John Cosgrove, and her daughter-in-law, Kathleen Cosgrove of Weymouth, Massachusetts, and their daughter, Kristina, of Randolph, Massachusetts.
Interment at the National Cemetery in Bourne, Massachusetts; Nancy will rest in peace beside her beloved, Robert C. Cosgrove.
