Always beloved. Always remembered.

Nancy was a generous, creative life force dedicated to family and friends and, of course, the Timken Art Museum. Her spirit in the art world and beyond will be missed.

Nancy you were a wonderful human being. I was her friend from NJ years ago. She and my mother were friends. I remember her son's John and Jimmy. We all lived in Plainsboro, NJ. We lost touch with Nancy over the years but had fond memories of her. Rest in peace lady. Jim Lovelace
