Nancy Sakiko Ichinaga

RIP Nancy

I am saddened to see Principal Ichinaga's passing. I am honored to be one of the many she mentored. As I navigated my way serving as Inglewood Council of PTAs President she was a staunch defender of Parents, Students, and Teachers. She was straight as an arrow that operating in excellence is the only way to achieve in education and life. I will always treasure her passion. May your family find joy and comfort knowing she inspired all who knew her.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Nancy was the principal at Bennett-Kew when I first met her. She was the principal for my son's Dwayne and Derrick Hayes. She was an awesome, caring person who worked hard to make sure all the children had the best elementary education. She was a great influence in their lives as well as teachers and other principals. Love and compassion as we salute Nancy Ichinaga.we

Nancy Inchinaga was Principal during my time at Andrew Bennett Elementary School from 1979-1983. At that time, Andrew Bennet and James Kew Elementary schools had not yet combined to form one school. I recall Mrs. Inchinaga firm but fair, kind, and consistent I respected and trusted her. As a testament to the impression she made, I do not recall the names of my principals at James Kew Elementary School, James Monroe Junior High School, or Morningside High School; but, I remember Mrs....

I was a student at Bennett-Kew.You were a great teacher/principal.
You will be missed and never forgotten

Nancy Ichinaga was a great woman, who achieved so much as a model principal, served as a stellar member of the State Board of Education, and was admired by presidents, governors, colleagues, teachers, students and all who were touched by her. She raised a wonderful family, including my friend Jon, and left a legacy for many generations to come.

I am saddened for the loss of such a fantastic person! Condolences to the family. I worked with her son, Jon, and he spoke highly of her.

RIP, Nancy. Prayerful sympathy to the family.
