Today, the sad word came from Shirley McClanahan Maynor and Karol Broadwell Welch that Nancy Gibson Tomlinson has passed away. Karol's husband, Bob, is Nancy's cousin and he kept us well informed of Nancy's condition.
It is understood that Nancy passed on Friday, April 2, at about 7 PM, after a long, long battle with complications from cancer and COPD. She died at home with all of her children present. Nancy had been a wonderfully supportive friend to several of our classmates suffering similar illnesses.
We have word that a celebration of Nancy's life is being planned for Friday, April 16, at 3 PM til sunset, at Nakomis Beach Park [North Venice jetty]. A good attendance is expected-----This was one of Nancy's favorite places. We are asking everyone to bring a dish.
