2019 Member of Note: Nancy Duke
IT’S NO WONDER WHY NANCY HAS BEEN OVERWHELMINGLY NOMINATED BY OUR MEMBERS AS THIS YEAR’S MEMBER OF NOTE!
NANCY HAS BEEN A SWEET ADELINE AND MEMBER OF LIBERTY OAK CHORUS FOR 13 YEARS. SHE STARTED AS A LEAD AND WITHIN THE PAST FEW YEARS, SWITCHED TO BASS! DURING HER TIME WITH LOC, SHE HAS BEEN A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE MODEL FOR ALL OF US, DEVOTING HER TIME WITHOUT HESITATION, SERVING AS AN LOC BOARD MEMBER IN NUMEROUS CAPACITIES, DONATING HER CRAFTING SKILLS AND TIME FOR VARIOUS FUNDRAISERS.

SHE HAS BEEN A MENTOR FOR THE LAKESIDE ACAPELLA CAMP FOR MANY YEARS, DONATING HER TIME TO MENTORING YOUNG BOYS AND GIRLS WHO WISH TO BECOME INVOLVED WITH THE ARTFORM OF ACAPELLA MUSIC. NANCY WAS A “KEY MENTOR” WITH OUR OWN REG. 15’S 2019 2ND PLACE QUARTET, PERFECT FOURTH!
HER FAMILY IS HER LIFE (ASIDE FROM ALL HER SISTERS IN HARMONY!) AND IF I CAN QUOTE SOMETHING THAT WAS ASKED OF HER DAUGHTER “WHAT MAKES YOU PROUD OF YOUR MOM?” ..REPLY “HER CREATIVITY AND HER WILLINGESS TO SACRIFICE HER OWN WANTS/NEEDS FOR OURS OVER THE YEARS”…AND THIS IS WHAT MAKES NANCY THE QUINTISSENTIAL MOM AND GRANDMA!
THIS IS HOW NANCY TREATS EVERYONE SHE KNOWS, WITH UNCONDITIONAL KINDNESS AND CARE! A TRUE SWEET ADELINE AND A GENUINE ROLE MODEL FOR ALL! SO WELL DESERVED!!
