Scholarship History

The Nancy Jo Fox Memorial Endowment was established by Larry and Glenda Peterson as a Memorial for their friend and her family February 16, 2007.

Nancy Jo Fox was born January 18, 1952, in Wichita, Kansas. She attended Kelly Elementary, Truesdell Middle School, and South High School in Wichita. Nancy’s life was taken away on December 9, 1977, in a brutal death. This scholarship is to be given each year so her “life” will never be forgotten.

Nancy was a beautiful young woman and most certainly one of a kind. She brought many hours of laughter and love to her friends and family. She was a friend who was always there for you. For Nancy, it was all about her friends and family.

Nancy was like most 25-year olds; she was trying to figure out her place in life. She didn’t have dreams of saving the world; she dreamed of finding that “special man” in her dreams and starting a family together. She loved children and she would have been a wonderful mother. Nancy would have been a great ESA member because of the love and desire she had to help people. She would have been a great asset to ESA.

Nancy is survived by her Mother, Father, sister, and three brothers; she is greatly missed by her family and friends.

This scholarship will help achieve some of Nancy’s dreams – helping many young people be able to work towards their dream of teaching.
