Nancy Kindervater Obituary

KINDERVATER, Nancy Allison, died November 10, 2020. She is survived by her children, Robert A. Kindervater Jr. (Susan), Gayle Parrish (Brian); her grandchildren, Michael Parrish (Caroline), Megan Rother (Ted), Ashley Stickley (Ben); as well as her great-grandchildren, extended family; and her best friend, Hildi Bottom. Nancy was predeceased by her husband of 44 years, Robert A. Kindervater Sr.

After graduating from Grace Hospital School of Nursing, Nancy enjoyed a long career as an RN at Retreat Hospital, eventually moving into their Inservice Education Department. At the time of her retirement, she was Director of Risk Management at Henrico Doctors' Hospital.

Nancy was a very active and beloved member of Trinity United Methodist Church; a lifetime member of Beta Sigma Phi International Sorority; and a member of the Executive Board of Commonwealth Women's Club. Prior to his death, she and our dad enjoyed and were active with Tuckahoe Square Dance Club.

Our mom was so very proud of her family and we will surely never forget her impact on our lives and all our memories and family traditions. We are forever grateful for the love and support we received from her church family during her illness and after her death. Due to COVID-19, a memorial service will be planned when restrictions are lifted. Please consider donating in Nancy's memory to United Methodist Family Services (UMFS).

Even though it's been three years, I just recently learned that Nancy passed away. I really enyoyed working with Nancy at Retreat Hospital. I also enjoyed attending the many classes she taught at Retreat. She was an amazing teacher and nurse.

Nancy was the delightful, highly skilled and outspoken admin for the Greater Richmond Coaches Association. I enjoyed her immensely. Reading about her professional background, it is no surprise how good she was. I am sorry for your family´s loss and appreciate what Nancy shared with the world.

So sorry for your loss. I knew your mom through Tuckahoe Squares and missed seeing her when she stopped dancing. She was always fun to have in a square.
