Nancy, together with her late husband Frank Pierce, was a longtime, Life Member of the Washington Saengerbund not only as an active singer but she also at times served on the board of directors back in the 1980s. The Washington Saengerbund History book published around the 125th anniversary of the Saengerbund was authored by Frank with the help of extensive research done by Nancy. Together they were able to create an interesting picture of past Saengerbund history by finding, contacting and interviewing descendants of earlier members. Nancy herself spent many days at the Library of Congress reading old newspaper stories, with her son Frank IV (always called Hutch) doing translations of German publications. Marie expressed her wish for the Saengerbund to sing at the service for her mother on Saturday, March 7.
There will be a local Mass a month later on Saturday, March 7 at 10:30am, delivered in memory of my mother Nancy, at St. John The Baptist Church 12319 New Hampshire Avenue Northeast, Silver Spring, MD 20904 (301) 622-1122, followed by a gathering at The Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration 13925 New Hampshire Avenue Silver Spring, MD 20904 Phone: 301-384-6264 at 12:00 o'clock.

The Washington Saengerbund has been invited to sing during the Mass. We have selected two pieces from Schubert's Deutsche Messe:
Introit "Wohin soll ich mich wenden", and
Sanctus "Heilig, heilig, heilig".
