Nancy Edwards Obituary
Hockessin - Nancy Stuart Edwards, age 84, a resident of Cokesbury Village for many years, passed into the arms of her God on January 20, 2021.
Born in Salem, New Jersey, July 6, 1936, she attended Bucknell University and graduated from Indiana University in Bloomington, IN. A short career with the DuPont Company was followed by a 15-year career with the Historical Society of DE as a guide in New Castle at the George Read House. She volunteered at the Winterthur Museum in Membership Services for many years and passionately participated in the Read Aloud Delaware program, reading one-on-one, at various daycare sites in the city. She was a lifetime member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity and cherished her sisterhood. Nancy's radiant smile and friendly personality would light up any room. She will be dearly missed by her many friends. She is survived by her husband of 60 years Donald and cousins Kendra, Kristen, Kyle, and Douglas.
Memorials can be made to the Donald & Nancy Edwards scholarship fund at the Delaware Community Foundation, P.O. Box 1636, Wilmington, DE 19899
A memorial service at Cokesbury Village will be scheduled at a later date.
