Nancy Thompson Barnwell

Nancy was the very best, kindest, most magical woman. Miss her and sending my love to the sweet family.

I have been devastated over the death of Nancy. She was a wonderful person and a dear friend. I was blessed to have known her for the past seventeen years, and enjoyed working with her in the library at Marrington. She was always a happy person who loved life and always had a smile on her face. She will be missed.

So so dad to see if Nancy´s passing. My condolences to all her family and friends. She was such a bright light!

Volunteering with Nancy for Spoleto since 1987 and knowing her through family and friends, we grieve at the loss of a dear, fine person. Her cheer, wit, and kindness were constant. Our prayers, love, and profound condolences to her beloved family and friends. Will miss you...

It was with a heavy heart that I learned of the passing of Nancy Barnwell, a longtime and cherished House Manager at Spoleto Festival USA. Nancy will be missed by all of the Spoleto staff who had the pleasure of working with her. I feel lucky to have worked so closely with her during the summer of 2021, which was a hectic and sometimes stressful time- But her endless positivity and joy for the arts always reminded me why working at Spoleto is so special.

Mrs. Nancy was such a lovely neighbor and friend. I will miss our conversations dearly. Love Always, Richard and Aubrie Salmons

Sending love light and peace to your beautiful family Nancy meant the world to the whole wide world, I believe. She was so warm, brilliantly smart, full of life and always had the perfect words to offer her friends. I wish I had some for this heartbreaking occasion. She was/is pure magic, truth and love.

My heart breaks for Elliott, John and Don... I´m so very sorry to hear this sad news. May your fond memories of her give you comfort during this time. Her Christmas Eve gatherings were something we all looked forward to and sill miss. She was an outgoing, kind and fun person.. I will miss her..RIP my dear friend. Prayers are with you all. Hugs..m

I am saddened at the death of my friend, Nancy. She was a kind and gentle lady. I knew her through the Spoleto Festival where she was my mentor and colleague. My condolences to all of her family and friends in their loss.
