Accoding to the internet Libby's (Leyla) address is 8103 15th Ave Apt 3 ,
Hyattsville, MD 20783, phone 703 824 1876. She is also on Facebook as
Leyla.
Danny's (Daniel) is 7905 Dassett Ct, Annandale, VA 22203 phone 703 671 2734
email dcady@xxxxxxxxx and dcady@xxxxxxx.
Libby is around Kate's age (36) and I think Danny is a year younger. Kate
suggested I refer to each of them by their childhood names even if they
don't use them anymore. It shows when we knew them.
I have sent them each a sympathy card from our family.

Walter,
Thank you for the information.
That’s interesting—both Amy and I were correct then about her name. She
went by her nickname as a child and probably reverted to her official (more
grown up) name as an adult.
Nancy was a responsible professional, a devoted Mom and an active and
committed to both her Quaker meetings. May she rest in peace.

I remember Nancy well and her years attending LHFM By the way our 2005
Directory has her daughter listed as Leyla Elizabeth with a nickname of
Libby. Peace Walter

Dear Friends,
I write to update Bab’s sad announcement that Nancy Cady died recently at
Adventist Hospital in Takoma Park. Nancy attended Langley Hill Monthly
Meeting for a number of years. I recall that Nancy worked for the State
Department for many years. She adopted two children and at that time became
active in Langley Hill. She later moved before moving near to Adelphi,
where she attended regularly for years. I recall her daughter’s name was
Libby, Carole remembers it as Layla. In any case, it seems to be an l word.
Two Friends at Adelphi and FCS, Carole Hoage and Amy Greene, shared this
information about Nancy’s later life, for me to share with those who
remember her.
Hi Betty
I am not sure what she died of, but she had several serious medical
issues. Her daughters (Layla?) reported that when she went into Adventist
Hospital she had pneumonia (not related to covid-19 apparently), brain
cancer which was set for treatment and long-time liver disease tho that had
stabilized many years ago I believe.
She also had weakness. She had been at a rehab place in late February or
early March and Amy and I went to see her there. She was not wanting to be
there and I think discharged soon thereafter.
She lived with her daughter, the daughter’s five children and her
undocumented husband. Her son was involved to a lesser degree and lives in
Virginia I believe.
We enjoyed having her as part of our Meeting tho we were very aware of her
fragility. She however was feisty and not prone to either self pity or
neediness. She participated enthusiastically. She was a feisty presence
who will be missed at Adelphi.
That’s what I know. Amy, who I am copying on this and was more involved
with her, probably knows more. There is a GoFundMe site set up for the
family to afford taking her ashes back to Colorado. If you want that
information, I can send it.
Best,
Carole
Clerk, Adelphi Friends Meeting

Nancy seemed to be the mainstay for her daughter and her family, both
financially and in many other ways. Her son lives in Northern Virginia
with his Ethiopian or Ethiopian-American wife. They did not see each
either often but sometimes got together for holidays. He was involved in
discussions about her medical care towards the end.
To my knowledge she never married.

Thank you Carole for letting me know. I will pass on the news to LHFM.They will want to know, as do I, what did she die from? Was it COVID 19 or
related to it?
Department and in a fairly high capacity as I recall. Quite articulate and
I remember Nancy before her illnesses. She worked for the State
professional. She adopted two children as I recall, and in mid-life and it
seemed to change her life, not for the easier. Don't ever recall as husband
or significant other. Her daughter was always a challenge for her and the
Meeting. The boy more even tempered, but he seemed to move on to
independence once he reached adulthood. Were the children part of her life
as she aged, and did they help her, I wonder? Nancy certainly devoted much
of her life decisions to them, especially the girl. The name Libby comes to
mind.
