Nancy B. Firestone

I knew Nancy through my parents, Esther and Simon Adler, who were friends with her parents in Plainview , N.Y. She was a charming and helpful host when I visited Washington with my son, around 2000. My sincere condolences to Patricia, Amanda and Susan. Zehra Greenleaf, Eugene,OR

Judge Firestone was a wonderful mentor to me and many fellow WashU alumni during her time on the court. Spending my spring break in her chambers my sophomore year of college was my first exposure to the judicial system, and I couldn't have known then that I would ultimately go to law school and end up clerking in the very same building, albeit on a different court--in part, thanks to her kind words on my behalf. I always appreciated her willingness to welcome me back to her chambers any time I was in DC and wish I had had the opportunity to see her in person once I moved to DC permanently, which was sadly foreclosed by the pandemic. May she rest in peace and her legacy live on.

Nancy was a student of Mine at the UMKC School of Law. A very Bright woman with a charming personality. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She was one of my favorites.
