Obituary
A Passion for Cycling
Five years ago, Nancy Morgenstern tried a new kind of vacation - a bicycling tour in the West. On the most strenuous day, she pedaled from Bryce Canyon to the Grand Canyon, 110 miles. After that, bicycle racing became her passion.
But Ms. Morgenstern, 32, was also an Orthodox Jew, which, in its way, is as demanding as bicycle racing. Some people might look at the seemingly conflicting requirements of each and give up one or the other. But Ms. Morgenstern embraced them both, fully. Instead of traveling on the Sabbath, she drove for hours on Saturday nights to a race. Or she stayed in motels with her cellphone off, while the others competed on Saturdays. When the others went out for dinner, she ate the kosher food she had packed.
Last spring, Ms. Morgenstern, the eldest of five siblings and a travel agent, began working at Cantor Fitzgerald. Her sole experience in high finance was balancing her checkbook. But an executive, impressed by her determination in the face of airline snarls and efficiency in untangling them, hired her as his administrative assistant.
She was, said her Jewish friends, a me'rachim al ha'brios - a person whose compassion extended beyond her family to acquaintances and strangers, including those stuck in airports on overbooked flights.

I just had the opportunity to read some of the tributes to Nancy since I was there right after both towers fell. It's a day that is seared in my memory and will stay with me forever. A"H

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

Nancy,
I just found out you are my 5th cousin.
My grandmother Pauline and your great grandmother were sisters.
My mother and your grandfather were cousins.
I wish I knew you. What a Kidish Hashem of a life you led.

I hadn't seen Nancy since 1982, when we graduated together from Shulamith Elementary School in Brooklyn. We had not really been close friends, but I always remembered her as a happy, smiling, friendly girl. I was terribly shocked to hear that she lost her life that terrible day. After speaking to some of the other women from our elementary school class, I decided to organize a collection effort in her memory. All donations will be given to Shulamith School for Girls l'ilui nishmat Nancy....
