Nancy was a great light at MTHS and I had the pleasure of having her as one of my teachers. She always brought joy to the classroom and the people she spent time with. It was terrible to hear of her passing and wish her family the best during these tough times.

I grew up with Nancy and her sister Mary Kay. Nancy was a year behind me in school and her sister was a year ahead.  We went 8 years of Catholic School and 4 years at Kittanning High School.  I haven’t seen Nancy in years, but I will always remember her as a popular, vivacious cheerleader with gorgeous red hair.  Her beautifully written obituary speaks volumes as a woman rooted deep in her faith and love of her family, friends and students throughout her life.  A remarkable life indeed.  My condolences go out to the Kurtz and Meighen families and to Nancy’s many friends.

Nancy and Tony lived across the street from us in the Woodlands Texas and we estabilished a special friendship as neighbors.  Nancy’s smile reflects her passion for life and engaging personality.  When she walked in a room, she lit it up!  Even during the most difficult times, she maintained a positive mindset and optimist bias, which was infectious.  In one word, she was “beautiful”.  We can all learn from her unique qualities:  a comitment to advance the lives of young people, her caring spirit, her love for family and her deep faith.  We feel very blessed that Nancy and Tony were part of our lives and she will be missed.  Tony, you and your family have our deepest sympathies.

I know she will be missed by many.

Nancy was a spectacular woman. She touched the heart of so many people. She has left a legacy. All of you – husband daughter, sister, gradchild, granddaughter grandson should be so proud. I’m honored to have known your wife, mother, grandmother.
I am so sorry I will be visiting my own mother who is 96 1/2 and will miss Nancy service. I know it will be very special and heart felt. She will be looking over all of her loved ones for the rest of their lives and that and itself is a blessing. She was an angel on earth. Now she’s an angel in heaven. Love to you all, Henrietta

She possessed all the right ingredients to be a great, long-lasting friend. Lots of cherished fun memories. God called home a beautiful soul and we will all miss her.

I had the privilege of having Mrs. Kurtz as a high school teacher at MTHS. She quickly became a mentor in the most formative years of my life. I went on to become a teacher and she has remained an inspiration to me in my career and in my walk with God. Mrs. Kurtz had a way of knowing and loving her students deeply–the way Jesus loves his children. I was not surprised to see her faith in God shine in her writing. She is a Godly, prayerful woman and an example to all of us–from high schoolers to grown adults alike. I will hold your family close in prayer as your grieve the loss of such a remarkable woman of God.

Mrs. Kurtz was one of the kindest teachers I was privileged to know at MTWP. I will always remember the warmth of her personality and how it brightened up her students’ day. She always thought the best about everyone. I remember she encouraged me to pursue teaching as a career and even allowed me to teach her class on a visit from college. I will always admire her as a person and an educator. She will truly be missed. My condolences to her family for your loss.

I was so sorry to learn that Nancy died, my very deepest sympathy to all her loved ones.  I met Nancy in a group at SJN several years ago, was immediately drawn to her.  She brought art supplies into the group one week and showed us all how to do abstract paintings—mine hung on my office wall.  Her story of how she began painting note cards etc. fascinated me—her spirit and joyful nature was an inspiration.

I was blessed to get to know Nancy through Tony with whom I worked for several years. Nancy was a beautiful person. Nancy was kind, thoughtful, caring and very smart. She was one of those people that when you were around her you suddenly felt joyful and everything was brighter because of her aura. Heaven must be rejoicing at Nancy’s arrival.  My prayers to the family.  May the King of Kings provide His peace, love and healing during this time.

Nancy and I with 3 other friends walked to high school together for 3 years. But we also survived 8 years of Catholic school. We had great times together and of course long discussions on the meaning of life. I met Kathryn and Kelly here in Kittanning when I was fortunate enough to be their grandmother’s IV nurse at the hospital. Also a lovely person. You should all be so proud to say you were in her orbit. Her obit caught her spirit and drive. If I know Nancy she’ll be organizing cheerleaders in heaven. Peace and healing.

It truly was a blessing knowing Nancy. Thank you Joanne & Vince Cascino for introducing us to this beautiful woman.  No one was a stranger to Nancy – her warm smile and infectious laugh made us fast friends. Her beautiful obituary certainly gives us insight into the wonderful life she lived and the lives she touched in her journey over the years. Rest In Peace sweet Nancy. God bless Tony and her daughters, their husbands and her grandchildren – her legacy will live on through them.
