Indeed sad news and a great loss for her family and the FISTS club. –Hans FISTS 15512
She was a great person. We traded a number of e-mail messages and I never had the good fortune to have a QSO with her. Godspeed.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of her seemingly sudden passing. She was only 58 years old. So far, no explanation why she died so young.
RIP, Nancy. As a FIST member, we came to love your enthusiastic spirit for promoting CW which we all share. Very 73 and big 88’s.

What a Jewel Nancy was. I had several delightful “encounters” with her concerning my dues. A sad day indeed.

She was one gracious lady to me when I had to contact her about FISTS. That is something I will NEVER forget. We lost a winner. For those left behind, my condolences.

I had the honor of chatting with Nancy a few years ago and heard her discuss her love of this hobby, among other topics. After hearing of the sad news of her passing earlier this month, I listened to the conversation on the podcast again. What a wonderful person she must have been. You can hear the smile in her voice.
Our condolences go out to her family and friends.
73, and warm regards,
