Nancy Blount Obituary

Blount, Nancy Jaggar 77 Jan. 21, 1936 July 02, 2013 Nancy Ann Jaggar was born Jan. 21, 1936 at Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland. Her parents, Samuel Irving Jaggar and Hazel Ingram Jaggar, were both native Portlanders. The Lord took her on July 2nd after a battle with cancer. Nancy attended Ainsworth and Catlin Gabel schools where she excelled in academics and sports. Her fondest childhood summer memories were her years as a counselor at Camp Tamarack in Sisters. She graduated from Stanford University in 1958. At Stanford, Nancy met a fellow Oregonian, William K. Blount, and they were later married at Trinity Episcopal Church by Bishop Dagwell. Nancy devoted herself to raising her three children while also finding time to improve her community through her charitable activities with the Junior League, Metropolitan Family Services, Albertina Kerr, and Trinity Church amongst others. Nancy was always available to help and support family and friends. No one was more reliable, conscientious, or caring. She also enjoyed life thoroughly - she and Bill travelled the world, but the highlight for her was always the family get-togethers and vacations. They were great times filled with joy, love, and laughter. She is survived by her husband, William K. Blount; her children, Susan McNiel (Don), Brian Blount (Leslie), and W. Kevin Blount; and her grandchildren, Grant, Eric, Karlin, James, Joe, and Skyelin. Services will be private. Donations in memory of Nancy may be to a charity of your choice.

Dear Bill, Brian, Susan, Kevin and family,

Kim and I are presently out of the country so were terribly saddened to hear Nancy had passed away.

Certainly the warmth and generosity she gave family and community is the greatest legacy anyone could leave.

Just know you are in our thoughts at this time with the deepest of sympathy.
