We have tremendously sad news for our ARTA community. Our beloved Nancy King has died.
Just days ago, Nancy fell and broke her femur and damaged her replaced knee. Lynne Lilly and Randy McKnight visited Nancy at Virginia Hospital Center on Monday the 23rd, before her Tuesday surgery. She was in good spirits. Unexpectedly on Wednesday morning March 25, Nancy passed away.
This is a great personal loss for many of us, as well as a great professional loss to many organizations to which Nancy dedicated so much time and love.
Nancy was Principal at Oakridge Elementary before her retirement, and was active in the APS Administrators retiree group as well as ARTA, RIF NOVA, and other organizations.
Nancy had been especially active in working for transparency in our health insurance plans which are up for renewal for next year.
Nancy intended to serve again as ARTA’s president, stepping up from vice president. Now both positions are empty, so if you would like to honor her memory by taking a leadership position in ARTA, there is no better time than now.
Nancy had a life well lived, and will be deeply missed. We offer our deepest sympathy to her family as we mourn.
