LIFE AS IT IS

Darcy Young-Nutter – April 21, 1943 – April 24, 2012

DarcyDarcy, Darcy, Fancy Lady … yeah, you knew how to spiff things up so they came out fancy and elegant!  Whether you were creating 'wearable art' or mystical pictures or ethereal portraits, you were in a class all your own. I watched you bring magic to your homes, your loved ones and those of us who were lucky enough to be in your presence.

Oh, did I mention your beautiful voice and your piano playing? No? Well let me say that hearing you sing, and especially when you were singing with your daughter, Dawn, there was love in the air. 

Yes, you could be stubborn. I did run into that part of you every now and then; and 121 you made that stubbornness work for you when you got your mind set on something you wanted to make happen – whether it was transforming yourself, recovering from your stroke, or manifesting your art so that it matched the image in your head.

I hope you know that you touched the lives of many people in deeply connecting ways. You enriched your family and friends, as well as our community for almost 30 years with your determination, your gentle pursuit of the truth, and the generousness of your heart. You made a real difference in our world.

I'm going to miss you, Darcy. Personally, I'll miss knowing that I can go shopping with you, borrow your clothes, run over to your house to sew up a rip, debrief about some event or another; get your input about the enrichment groups, and all the other projects we were a part of. I'll miss your artistry. 

PS You were Hayleigh's only Fairy Godmother. Now she doesn't have one, and I'm requesting that you continue that relationship as her AFG – Angelic Fairy Godmother.

PPS We'll be celebrating Darcy's life this Sunday, April 29. The pic on the left is Darcy all glammed up, and the one on the right is with her husband, Ed Nutter.

    Beautiful, Ann. I’m sitting here smiling with fond memories of everything you mentioned. Loved Darcy’s sense of humor … out-of-the-blue comments that took me off-guard and sent me into peals of laughter.
    So sorry to miss the memorial service on Sunday, but I’ll be in Arlington with my son and granddaughter.
    Love,
    Jen

    Darcy Young-Nutter and Ed Nutter, two of God’s most awesome creations.
    Darcy will have lots to do in her new Mansion, she is not done creating beauty around her. Not by a long shot!
    And thank the Lord for keeping Ed down here with us for a while. Ed’s bright light continues to be a beacon of hope, lighting the way for those in darkness.
