Nancy Cohn

In the words of Helen Keller, "Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all." Our beloved sister, Nancy Cohn, embodied this daring spirit of adventure throughout her life. Born on January 12, 1954, in Columbus, Ohio, Nancy was an adventurous soul with a zest for life and a determined spirit. She was ambitious, creative, and spirited, always ready with a smile and a story. Her love for travel took her to many places, but it was her love for people and her infectious enthusiasm for life that truly set her apart.

Nancy's professional life was a testament to her ambitious nature. Her career in advertising sales allowed her to channel her creativity and her spirited nature into her work, always striving for excellence and never settling for less. Nancy was a natural storyteller, charming everyone she met with her enthusiasm and her passion for life. Her love for music and entertainment was infectious, and her friends often found themselves swept up in her enthusiasm. She was a beacon of independence, always standing on her own two feet and encouraging others to do the same.

Nancy was a beloved part of our family and her spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved her. She is survived by her brothers, Bill (Sandi) and Bob Cohn, and Uncle Jack Guggenheim. She will be fondly remembered by her nephew, Wally Cohn, and niece, Andrea (Moe) Bannan, along with her great-nephews and nieces, Tobey, Maggie, Ollie Cohn, Hadley, and Emerson Bannan. She was preceded in death by her parents, Sue and William Cohn Sr., and her Uncle Bud Guggenheim.

We invite you to celebrate the life and spirit of Nancy by sharing your memories and photographs on her memorial page. In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, "It is not the length of life, but the depth of life." Nancy lived her life with depth and passion, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

We sincerely appreciate all the care she received at Cherry Blossom Senior Living and the long term extended care she received from Capital City Hospice Care.
