I met Nancy in recent years through her membership in Friends of Oak Hill Cemetery. While I never met her in person, we had several conversations by phone. She was a delight to visit with and was a steadfast and generous supporter of efforts to improve and preserve Oak Hill Cemetery. I know she will be dearly missed by her friends and family.

Nancy, you were a kind and gentle woman, and a good friend of my mother, Polly Reed. Your passing is a loss for all as the world is a lesser place without you in it.
