Nancy Ewing Gabel ’61 John M. George Society Member*
Nancy inspired classmates to keep in touch with each other and George School. Now she inspires others to follow her lead in putting George School in their estate plans. To her classmates, Nancy was a friendly voice reminding them to share their news or rallying them for the next reunion. To coworkers, she was a world traveler who enjoyed telling tales from her many cruises. To George School, Nancy was a longtime friend, whose generosity (she named the school as a beneficiary of her estate) will enrich the lives of students for years to come. A member of Greenwich Friends Meeting in Greenwich, New Jersey, Nancy was also a member of George School’s Sticky Bun and John M. George societies, reflecting her long history of giving to the school. In making her bequest an unrestricted gift, she trusted George School to use it in the most beneficial way. Head of School Nancy Starmer describes the estate gift as “a very kind and meaningful way to honor the importance George School played in her life.” As the class of 1961’s correspondent, Nancy Ewing Gabel was “always urging us to write class notes so we could find out about one another,” says classmate Jim Talbot. “She was like a church. She never gave up on you.” In October 2009, Nancy wrote to her class, “Once again I want all our classmates to mark their calendars for Mother’s Day weekend in May of 2011 for our amazing 50th reunion.” As Jim describes, she “put the word out that it didn’t matter if you were fat or thin, rich or poor, and she set up a fund to help people come back.” Unfortunately, she did not live to enjoy the reunion, but a large number of her classmates attended. The $572,630 raised, which includes Nancy’s legacy gift, set a new record for class gifts at George School.
