I was so very saddened to learn of Nancy's passing in the Bell Tower's recent publication. What a truly wonderful friend she was to me and everyone she knew. Such a dedicated lady to the Educational Bureau running the many fairs, the arts and crafts classes over the years, and doing the International Dinners, etc. I will never forget the fashion shows at the Temple with the Dutchmaid clothing and local dress shop fashions. Nancy was completely devoted to her family including Bob, her wonderful husband, who she now joins, along with their six children, 13 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, and extended family members. May the love of family and friends help you through this difficult time. She will be sadly missed. My love goes out to all of her friends and family.

Nancy was all about the children of Ocean Park and how she could make their summers enjoyable and help them learn a craft, whether it was ceramics, t-shirts, working a table at the bizarre, etc. She was a memorable figure and someone that my kids, Evelyn and Jimmy have fond memories of. She helped make their summers fun when they were young and looking for things to do. Rest in peace Nancy.
