In Memory

Nancy Topper

Nancy Lee Topper, 83, of Charlottesville, Virginia, died on January 22, 2019.

Born on December 18, 1935, in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of Robert Henry Miller and Naomi Feightner Miller.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, John Edwin Topper; her parents, Robert and Naomi Miller; and her sister, Linda Miller Martz.

Nancy was devoted to her family and friends. Spending time with family, playing bridge, and traveling brought her much joy. Her ten years as a secretary at Albemarle High School was a highlight of her career. What will be remembered most about Nancy is her kindness, cooking, hospitality, and warm smile.
