    i met Nancy early on in the KC Ukesters where she was an enthusiastic performer on ukulele and banjo. We all had a great time playing with her at the Lawrence Busker festival. We’ll miss her.

    I originally met Nancy when we were both Girl Scout leaders and our daughters were students at Dobbs Elementary. I was fortunate enough to reconnect with her a few years ago through the KC Ukesters. Nancy was always warm, loving with a joyful smile. Her beautiful spirit will be sorely missed by us all.

    She was my friend and I miss her dearly. My life is richer for all the time I spent with her. God speed, Nancy.

    In addition to playing ukes with Nancy, I followed her arc through the KU MPA program. From her first day, to her recognition as Most Outstanding Graduate, to hooding her at graduation. What a spirit. What bold curiosity and patient intelligence. We are all honored to have known her. Enriched to walk a few miles together.

    Nancy always had a welcoming smile on her face and joy in her heart in sharing music and playing ukes together. I remember playing End of the Line with her and having so much fun! Nancy brought so much to our music circle and our hearts.

    Nancy was one of the best students in our MPA program at KU. She worked hard and was very thoughtful. Nancy and nine of us also traveled to S. Korea in the 2014 winter break for a class. She was advantageous and very helpful to all of us. More importantly, she laughed so much and really enjoyed every single moment. Her approach to life is inspiring. We will always remember her smiles, her courage, and her positive spirit.
