Nancy Ellen Sylbert

May 23, 1956 - Jul. 15, 2017

Nancy Sylbert – New York City, New York, Nancy passed away on July 15, 2017.  After high school Nancy attended Oberlin College where she majored in Art History and Religion, graduating Phi Beta Kappa.  After college, Nancy went onto become a talented graphic designer.  Nancy’s many interests included opera, theatre, photography, competitive swing dancing and an irrational devotion to her cats.  In the 90s, Nancy worked for the AIDS Foundation of San Diego, educating people on how to stop the spread of the disease.  She also fought tirelessly for child abuse prevention and the homeless.  Nancy will be remembered for the dark and cynical sense of humor of a true New Yorker but most importantly, the way she cared deeply for all her friends and the people she met from all walks of life.  Nancy’s legacy will be to move forward the way that she did: connecting, caring and taking swift and effective actions to change the world.
