Nancy was my faculty mentor during my years in the 91��Ƶ honors program as an undergraduate student. Looking back, I feel very fortunate to have shared so many meals and conversations with her! Blessings to you in your retirement, Nancy, and thank you for all the ways you have enriched others’ lives throughout your career.

My sister has been a light in my life even before I can remember. Conversing about our disciplines, our faiths, our doubts, and our fears has always made me think and feel more deeply. Getting to collaborate on our passion to bring another light—Elsie C. Bechtel—to others was a high point of my historical work. Thank you, elder sister.

Hi Nancy,
Congrats to the Mbuji Mayi teacher! I’m sure this is not really retirement for you, but simply a redirection of energy! You’ve been an inspiration and example to so many throughout your life; it’s been a blessing to have you in the fabric of my life. And when you get back to New Mexico, let me know; in Southwestern mileage, I’m not far away!

Nancy,
Well, you are finally making the move! We have certainly valued your friendship as neighbor, fellow church member, reader, seeker for truth, citizen of the planet, critic of empire, lover of birds, bees, flowers, gardens and trees.
Go into the next phase of your life with joy and expectation.
John and Janet Stoner

As one who began to appreciatively make Nancy’s acquaintance when we were both Temple students and the worked more regularly with her when we were EMS colleagues, I’m a fan of this profile by Lauren Jefferson. Nancy has offered treasure in so many settings. Lauren helps us see that. And though I’ll resist telling tales on her, I do want to be clear that I’ll forever be grateful for the endless ways she contributed to 91��Ƶ/EMS during our period there as colleagues. God bless, Nancy. And thank you for helping us meet the Rooster, to evoke one of the powerful stories/images you shared with us in chapel.

Nancy,
You have been a friend and mentor to me and many of us over the past years. While at MCC together and in more recent years, you always brought a sensibleness to issues and debates that has impressed me. And how many times have I marveled at how much you knew about so many, many things. You are a community builder par excellence.

Thank you, Earl

Hello Nancy,

You have served long and well and been a shining example of loving, supportive service. I’ve always appreciated our interactions even though they’ve been infrequent. You offer the gift of presence, which is priceless.

Thank you and God bless in your next phase.

Grateful,
Mary Ann

I have been blessed to not only be taught by Nancy, but also have had the honor to just talk with her. Nancy embodies the peace of Jesus Christ and is a true blessing to all who know her.

Nancy,
Thanks for all you did to support my MDIV journey at EMS. You brought needed stability to my navigating of such a large degree. I could not have done it without your guidance and suggestions. I appreciated our BIC discussions towards the end of my degree. Blessings on retirement, and congratulations!
