NANCY VAN FLEET

Back in the 60's, when i was a fledgling bassist, i recall with great fondness, how encouraging and supportive Nancy was; when i saw her singing in a local club, about two years ago, after not seeing her for some 45 or so years, she was just as bubbly and encouraging as ever! A sweet Soul and human being, let alone stylin vocalist, Nancy Fleetmeister, rests among the top people in the universe! Blessings and love to her family and all her friends in this time of sorrow....the former Richard...

Simply put, there could never be another Nan...at least not as unique, talented & loving as she. Nancy left her impression on me from day one. She's the spunkiest "old hag", as she jokingly called herself, that I've ever known. You'll live in my memories & in my heart forever! Love you, lady! I know you're jazzing up the Heavens.

The warmest, kindest, most generous and
loving friend; a fabulous performer; an
irreplaceable lady who will be greatly
missed.

I'm so sad our sweet little jazzbird is gone. The world definitely has a dimmer glow. I met Nancy when I was a very sad insecure little girl who was invisible in my own home, and it was Nancy that always made me feel special and actually loved and cared about. She had that special gift and gave it to everyone. She made everything more fun and beautiful. What a woman. What a wonderful wonderful woman. She always called me Jannie and I loved her from day one. Thank you Lord for letting...

Dear Don, David and families: I was so sorry to hear about Nancy. She was a very special lady. I've done this once so hope you don't get it twice. I talked to her a coouple of years ago and it was one those things to put off till later, although she was on my mind as I came across her phone # in my address book as I did Christmas cards. We had lots of good times together while Bill and the band was together. She was certainly a grest singer but also a loving person. She and Bill not only...

I first met Nancy 40 years ago. She was always upbeat, positive, encouraging and caring. The last time I saw Nancy and heard her sing was about 5 years ago. All my love to her family.

Nancy was a dear friend and a great mentor. The Kansas City musical community has lost a peerless member.
