Nyria Anne (Webb) Shaw, 91, of Londonderry, NH, died Sunday, May 17, 2026. Her family was by her side at The Pines in Newmarket, NH.

She was born May 12, 1935, in Windsor, UK to Lionel Victor and Kathleen (Dickinson) Webb. Nyria received her schooling from St. Bernard’s Convent for Girls in Slough, Bucks.

At eighteen, Nyria gained entrance to Oxford University, but instead chose a position with Standard Oil Company in London.

In 1957, Nyria married her husband, Beverley. In 1959 their first daughter, Verne was born. Ten months later, they emigrated to the US where they had planned to stay two years as Bev’s career as a Metallurgist continued. Their daughters Abigail and Jessa were born and the family settled in North Reading. The Dale family, also from England was a continued grounding.

Working as a buyer for Daka International, she enjoyed new friendships and continuing to be the matriarch for her growing American family. As avid sailors and golfers, Bev and Nyria spent summers around the Cape and islands of Buzzards Bay. In retirement they used some spare time to travel and work for Habitat for Humanity. They also exchanged their yawl “Ariadne” for an island cottage in Maine, that grandchildren and great-grandchildren enjoy.

Bev and Nyria were married for 65 years.
