Recognized for a career built on care and dedication to families as a social worker, Nancy spent 25 years at YWCA Madison supporting mothers and children in Third Street, cultivating a place of safety, belonging, and possibility. Beloved ongoing traditions such as Tuesday night dinners, the holiday gathering, and the Annual Downtown Block Party stem from Nancy’s initiative and reflect her deep commitment to fostering a sense of community for all. Nancy happily retired in 2018 and now enjoys time with her grandson Reece, traveling, being outdoors, and seeking out live music while staying active in the community and finding joy in time with family and friends.
“Wow, I am truly honored to be recognized as a 2026 YWCA Women of Distinction with this group of amazing women and former colleagues and with the women who came before us. It is very validating to have others recognize, that what I did, mattered.”
