Pelosi Statement on Passing of Nan McEvoy

March 26, 2015
Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement on the passing of business leader and philanthropist Nan McEvoy:
"Nan McEvoy was a trailblazing, entrepreneurial woman - whose courage, generosity, and wisdom reminded us of our responsibility to improve our communities and our world. Nan strengthened our democracy through her service at the newspaper her family founded, the San Francisco Chronicle, and set a sterling example as a compassionate and concerned global citizen as an early Peace Corps volunteer. Nan leaves a legacy that will continue to inspire many.
"Our country has lost a pioneer woman, our community has lost a gracious leader and our family has lost a dear friend. May it be a comfort to Nan's son, Nion, and the entire McEvoy family that so many share their grief at this difficult time."
