MACLEOD, NANCY WARING (WHITE) - Passed away on Thursday, December 10, 2009. Born on May 17, 1932 in Saint John. She was daughter of the late Walter and Marion (Waring) White. Loving wife of the late T. Gordon MacLeod. Nancy is survived by several cousins, nieces, and many friends. Nancy taught first-year Biology at UNBSJ for 25 years. Her students will remember her as a stickler for proper laboratory procedure and an instructor who had high expectations of them. At the same time, she was interested in her students' welfare and many approached her to discuss problems in the lab or life in general. Many of her treating physicians were former students. Prior to joining UNBSJ, she was employed in medical laboratories at the DVA hospital in Saint John, as well as Newfoundland and Connecticut. Nancy brought a wealth of knowledge about medical technology and its application to her classes at the University. Aside from her interest in Biology, Nancy was passionate about economic, political, and world affairs and was current up to her final days. Nancy's softer side included a love of animals. Her dog "Lady" was her close companion and died just weeks before she did. Nancy was a strong, unforgettable character, who was undaunted by adversity and will be much missed by friends and relatives. At Nancy's request, there will be a private graveside funeral and no visitation. Donations, in memory of Nancy, may be made to the Animal Rescue League.
