Outside of her professional life, Nancy’s family was her main passion. She loved music and could play violin, organ, and piano; she was also a member of two choirs. She and her husband Ed were longtime subscribers to the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Metropolitan Opera. Nancy also enjoyed dance and the visual arts and occasionally drew and painted. Travel was another of her passions and the family camped all across the United States and Canada from the time the children were two or three years old. Later, Nancy enjoyed foreign travel, especially Italy, France, and Norway. She will be remembered by those who knew her as a woman of the deepest integrity. A force for good has left the world and will be missed. A memorial service will be held at 3:00 PM, on Sunday, October 10.
