Mrs. Mary Breckenridge, played by actress Adrienne Madden, appeared in 4 episodes of The Waltons. We first see her in The Cradle, Season 2. Olivia goes to her house when she is selling her bubble beautifier. It seems that the two women don’t know each other, but in the course of their conversation, they discover that their daughters, Erin and Nancy, are school friends.
We next see Mrs. Breckenridge in The Ring, Season 3. Now it seems that Mrs. Breckenridge is an old friend of the family. She is a widow, and there is no mention of any children.
Mrs. Breckenridge appears in two more episodes, The Choice, Season 3, and The Secret, Season 4. She helps Jason with his music and encourages him to apply for the music conservatory, and she asks Jason to get John Boy to write stories about her father.
We never see her daughter Nancy. She’s not even mentioned after that first episode. Where is she?
Maybe I need to stop overthinking and just enjoy watching the episodes.

At least she appeared in 4 episodes. On "Little House on the Prairie" most of the neighbors disappeared after being featured in one episode!

Nancy is like one of those relatives mentioned but never seen. Olivia, Esther, Zeb, the Baldwin ladies & Corabeth typically spoke of relatives most of whom we never saw.

^ And Jessica Girl Spy could step in and solve it!!
I think we've got a hit series in the making! If they can stretch out Keeping Up With The Kardashians for 157 years, we should at least be able to get a season or three!

That's half the fun of watching the show so many times  Theory: Nancy died under some tragic circumstances. The Walton family did their best to support her and, in the process, became much closer, as if they were old family friends. The reason her daughter is never mentioned again is because it's still a tough subject for Mrs Breckenridge. Also, who's the friend of Elizabeth's who died off screen? She mentioned somebody in The Burn Out who was her best friend who died. I always thought it was a really weird line, since we'd never heard anything about it before then. What was her friend's name? Do they say? I know Nancy was Erin's friend originally, but it's not hard to believe that Elizabeth could have formed a bond with her too. |

However, I think Elizabeth’s friend who died was Lucy Arnold. Maybe there was some sort of epidemic that swept through the region. Many children became ill, and some even died, including Lucy Arnold and Nancy Breckenridge. I’ve also thought perhaps Nancy went away to boarding school, like Aimee Godsey did. |
