So sorry to see the obituary for Nancy. I was on my iPad and was looking for folks I knew at Pitt. We worked together at Hillman Library back in the mid 70s
So sorry to hear of Nancy’s passing. We worked together for many years, Nancy was so smart and resourceful. She always knew where the best sales were, and was always working g on a project. Learned a lot from her. RIP Nancy.
Nancy was a delight to work with… funny, caring and kind. You have my deepest sympathy.
I am so sorry for your loss. Nancy was a kind person and a whip smart librarian. I met her in 2007 when we took a course on Consumer Health Librarianship together, and then we overlapped briefly at Downtown. I will remember her as a funny and caring teammate. May she rest in peace.
So sorry to hear of Nancy’s passing. She was much too young. The Stockhausen family sends their condolences and prayers for the family.
Nancy was a dear friend. So smart and savvy. She had an eye for beauty and design and taught me a lot about Pittsburgh history and human nature. My deepest condolences.
