Condolence From Jan Sharpe

In the sadness of the loss of Nancy Phares, I am reminded of the gift of having served with her in community efforts. Nancy was an awe-inspiring, impressive, clever, magnificent, dignified, and noble lady, always. I am privileged to have had her share with me her reflections and learnings in life, to have enjoyed her humor and wit, and to have witnessed her drive for the betterment of community and others. For Nancy, no challenge was too great, no kindness too small. May God give her family comfort, and as I think of Rest in Peace for Nancy, I suspect she may be reorganizing some part of Heaven, already.

Nancy's Family: It is with a sad heart that I have learned from Sally about Nancy's death. Nancy, Sally and I grew up together, and we shared so many memorable times together during those "Wonder Years". Through "Thick and Thin" we remained loyal friends. I can see "Mr" Ford right now - a dashing man with deep brown eyes and "Miss" Catherine, the sweetest, gentle woman, always with a smile on her face. She and "Miss" Lorraine and my mother Frances Nash were always looking out for us three girls. We learned to swim at Joyland, an amusement park outside Lexington, and "Miss" Catherine would usually drive us and sit up in the hot balcony overlooking the pool. I could write a book on our growing up days, but I'll hesitate! Even though I have not lived in Georgetown for sixty-five years, Nancy and I have always been in contact. The last time I saw her was for lunch at Favas a couple of years ago. She looked so pretty in her green jacket. We had fun reminiscing and keeping our sense of humor about "our golden years". I know that Nancy has been honored over the years and she is the most deserving person I know. She pioneered the rightful role of women in the business world. She was brilliant, loyal, giving, compassionate, humble, and truly a role model for all. Next to her family, Nancy's passion was Georgetown, Ky. She has left a lasting legacy for this little town where we grew up. She had touched so many lives. I live in Phoenix and am unable to be in Georgetown for her Memorial. I'll leave you with this Irish quite I'd like to share; "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal." Bettie Nash Brakebill

My heart is sadden that we have lost such a wonderful lady. She always had a smile and kind words for everyone.She was also the smartest person I ever meant. I have known Nancy since I was a child. A group of friend, including my parents would have the best time together every week end and were life long friends. I know I will miss this very special lady.

Nancy was blessed with a generous and caring soul. She was a major force for good in Georgetown and Scott County and at The Church of the Holy Trinity, where she served as treasurer for many years. Nancy was the driving force behind the church's decision to donate land for the building of the present home of the Georgetown Child Development Center. She is also responsible for the church's sponsorship of a complex of apartments for low income individuals and families. She had a quick wit and an inquisitive mind. Nancy genuinely cared about other people, whether friends or strangers. She did not wear her Christian faith as an ornament, but she was a person who exemplified Christian virtue. Like so many others, I shall miss her. May light perpetual shine upon her. May her soul rest in peace.

I first met Nancy when we were on the board together for the local daycare. She was one of the most delightful, caring, wonderful people I have known. She will be missed greatly.

Nancy was a very special lady, always there for me and my sister Carol. It saddens me that she is gone in flesh, but comforts me that she is no longer in pain. Nancy will be forever in my heart.

From about the time I was 18 we meet through mutual friends, Horace and Jean Gaines, we remained friends for the rest of our lives. What a beautiful lady, she loved Georgetown and Scott County. For those of you that remember the Saltatrix, she and Sally Hays were the co-founders in 1949. She contributed so much to our community over the years and will be an icon truly missed by all. I always told her she was one of the prettiest ladies to ever graduate from Garth. We will miss and remember her at all future school reunions.
