Sher, Nancy Jane,

66 of New Albany, passed away Sunday morning, July 31, 2016.

A memorial visitation and service will be held Saturday August 6, 2016 from noon -5 p.m., with a service beginning at 5 p.m. at Seabrook Dieckman & Naville Funeral Homes at 1119 E. Market Street, New Albany, IN.

Born July 7, 1950, Nancy discovered a love of music early in life after being shown how to play the bass. Getting a master's at University of Louisville, she spent nearly 40 years teaching and inspiring thousands of children over the years in local schools.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Rubin Sher. Together they created beautiful music, and inspired generations to find the music inside themselves, being involved in both the Louisville and Floyd County Youth Orchestras.

She is survived by her loving son Sam, of Los Angeles; brother Jack, of New Albany; step-sons Michael (Paula) of Long Island, NY, and Martin (Kerry) of New Albany, IN; and grandsons David (Yukiko) and Benjamin (Denise).

Always ready to laugh, she could find a light in the darkest time. Her light and her music will be sorely missed.

Expressions of sympathy may be made to the NAHS Orchestra, 1020 Vincennes St., New Albany, In 47150
