Virginian-Pilot  June 14, 2020
Nancy Kurtz Brown, age 89, passed away on June 8, 2020 in Chesapeake, VA.
She was born in Mount Union, PA on April 15, 1931, the daughter of the late Edgar 
F. and Philomena Y. (Yeager) Kurtz. Nancy graduated from Mt. Union High School in 
1948. She went on to receive her Bachelor of Arts in Education from Juniata 
College, credentialed to teach Elementary Education and Secondary History and 
English. After obtaining a Master's degree from Penn State University in Secondary 
Education, she began her teaching career in Kistler Elementary School in Mt. 
Union, PA, until marriage. She continued her career in Erie and Mechanicsburg, PA, 
until she had her two daughters. After raising her girls, she worked in the 
Northern York County School District at Northern Elementary as a second-grade 
teacher, retiring in 1998. Her years at Northern were among her favorite memories 
of her career with puppet plays, Thanksgiving feasts and class picnics at her 
home.
Nancy was an involved parishioner of St. Joseph's Catholic Church in 
Mechanicsburg, PA for over 50 years. She was a substitute teacher at St. Joseph's 
School in the early to mid 70's and volunteered her talents by sewing altar server 
robes and participating in Church craft bazaars. She was a member of the Church's 
Leisure Club and went on many bus trips, cruises and European vacations with the 
group. She was Chairman for the club's annual Christmas party and enjoyed planning 
and decorating for the event for many years. She was also a member of the Red Hat 
Society. Nancy was an avid crafter and with her daughter, Amy, a fellow teacher, 
shared a business they named "Teachers Two". Together, with the help of family, 
they participated in many craft shows in the Virginia Beach area. She enjoyed 
going to her grandchildren's sporting events and school activities and, most of 
all, celebrating with family.

John T. "Jack", her sisters, Thelma "T" Sentman and Kathleen "Kay" Cramer and
