NINA SUNDELL Obituary

SUNDELL--Nina Castelli. With sadness, we mourn the loss of Nina Castelli Sundell. She will be remembered with joy for her passion for art and her support of artists, particularly during her time at Yaddo when her husband, Michael G. Sundell, served as President. Nina knew what an artist's life was and how hard the struggle is to create in real life the vision in one's mind. She continued as a strong supporter of Yaddo's mission long after she and Michael retired. We offer condolences to Nina's children and extended family. The Members, Directors, and Staff of Yaddo.

I'm deeply saddened to learn of Nina's death. She was always so kind to me, and funny, bright, and deep. I felt a close connection which I've long valued, though we saw each other infrequently, we stayed in touch. This is a deep loss, she was so elegant, knowing, and as I said, kind. My condolences to her family.

It was extremely sad to learn about Nina's death, and I add my condolences for her children (I don't know if I Michael is still alive). She was a sweet, gentle and elegant person, aside from her intelligent sensitivity to art, and her contribution (with Marjorie T.) in enriching the contemporary art scene in Cleveland. I will never forget her. Many thanks to Agnes and Susan for writing that touching and sincere obituary, which I share. Athena Tacha Spear.
