Nancy M. Petry Ph.D.

It is with fond memory that I write here,?to celebrate the good that Nancy brought to the world, and the ways that she has been honored by her husband, Bill, her children, and her admiring coprofessionals, friends and family. Gently and kind, are words that first come to mind.

Nancy is the perfect person, who landed in the perfect place, who made the perfect family, with the perfect partner...and left too soon for us all, but, what she left is so strong, that there is peace.

Sweet, kind, subtle strength, and devoted to her family, it was always so clear that Nancy was at home and happy with her husband and her children. She is one who will inherit the earth.

Above all, I got the greatest pleasure in Nancys always putting her family first. They were her greatest love...her devotion to her husband and to her children was unstoppable and huge, and beautiful.
She spent her every moment toward making their lives as good as they could be.

Dr. White,
In your heart, your love and special memories will keep you
and your children always. My deepest sympathy to you all.

Nancy was a wonderful human being and a stellar academician. Her contributions are countless and her caring for her family even more so. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Nancy was a beautiful soul and exceptional human being. Her academic talents were immeasurable and she loved her family above all else. My heartfelt condolences to her family, friends and colleagues. She had the most infectious laugh!
Sincerely,
Susan D. McLaughlin

If there were words to ease the pain of grief they would all be yours.
