With deep sadness our dear friend Nancy Myska, 80, passed away on Thursday, February 24, 2022 surrounded by her family at her daughter’s home in Clark, New Jersey. So many of us had the enormous pleasure to know and work with Nancy – her loss will be felt for many years to come.

We’d like to extend sincere condolences to Nancy’s family. She was a member of the Peaceworks community going back to our beginnings in the early 1990s. She was a quiet, constant presence at our dinner events. She worked tirelessly on our shipment days, long days of packing and loading. She traveled to Nicaragua on delegations and when our co-founder, who also handled finances, died suddenly in 2014, Nancy took over financial matters until we found a permanent treasurer. We miss Nancy and will continue to miss her. She was one of us.
