Nancy’s wish for this remembrance was for guests to share thoughts and stories with Oskar and Olympia so that they can learn more about her so please come with a thought or story to share with them.
Nancy passed away after a brief battle with glioblastoma.
The weeks leading up to her passing were tender and difficult for all of those close to her. Nancy remained dedicated to her work at the Center until her very last days. She held a place here with us knowing that her days might be numbered. Nancy not only LOVED her community she showed up for us. She showed up for all of it. She showed up for causes dear to her heart and to support those that needed tender attention and care.
“One of my favorite memories was watching her massage the shoulders of a mutual friend attempting to ease her visible emotional pain during an event. Her children watched too as if it was just another day in their life with their beautiful loving mama.”
—Silvia Morales
After receiving her diagnosis, Nancy inspired all of us in profound ways. She spoke of being grateful for the medical care she was receiving while surrounded by her loved ones—even as she held in her heart those in Gaza and other targeted places who are navigating cancer amidst bombs, starvation, and unfathomable loss.
We will miss Nancy’s fire and drive to quell injustice. She will forever live on in our memories as a tender but powerful force for all that is true, good and just.
