Nancy Dorr Duel

I am grateful for having known Nancy. She had a lot of energy and commitment, particularly to Kids Above All and protesting gambling at the racetrack. I valued Nancy's work on issues supported by local League of Women Voters and her time as a League officer. Nancy had remarkable energy!

Nancy had a passion for serving and sharing. As past president of United Methodist Women, she supported those who followed her leadership with guidance and wisdom.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF A WONDERFUL WOMAN, I worked with Nancy Duel with World Federation Methodist & Uniting Church Women and Church Women United for many years a dedicated servant for God. I will miss her.

Nancy was a dedicated United Women in Faith ( former United Methodist Women) always willing to go the extra mile.

We thank God for the life of Nancy Duel and for her life long commitment to Church Women United Northwest Cook & Vicinity Area Unit as long as her health allowed. We are praying for those left behind who loved her.

Nancy was a blessing to so many through her leadership and example. I was honored to know her through United Methodist Women. Prayers rising for her family

Nancy was the first person I met at First United Methodist Church of Arlington Heights when my husband and I moved here from Buffalo, NY in 2011. She was at the door with a petition to sign against gambling at the race track. The United Methodist Church has a policy against gambling because of the harm it causes to people who are addicted. Families lives are forever impacted. From then on, our lives intersected in many areas of social justice in Church Women United and United Women of Faith. She was deeply committed to issues concerning vulnerable children and women. Kids Above All was one of her favorite charities.
Unlike most of us, she loved being on nominating committees! She he found purpose in involving people whose talents might be matched to positions that needed to be filled. She was very persuasive! I was one of those people.
As her health declined, she accepted it with grace and loved visits from friends and family.
She was a woman who truly lived our her Christian faith.

Nancy was an exceptional woman of faith. She had unending energy and dedication to causes she found important. I loved her commitment to those in need and causes that really mattered. God bless her soul.
