Nancy Katherine Noble Landon passed away peacefully in her sleep on July 10, 2022 at her home in Portland, Oregon.
Nancy was born September 5, 1932 to Georgiana Partridge Noble and Curtiss Griffith Noble in Evanston, Illinois. With her family she traveled extensively, including time living in Mexico. She graduated from Miss Hall’s School in Massachusetts. After graduation she moved to New York City, where she met and married Henry H. Landon, Jr.
After a short time in New York City they moved to Greenwich, Connecticut to raise two sons, Peter and David. Nancy delighted in raising her sons and in her family. She was active in her community – at Christ Church Greenwich, Brunswick School, and the Boy Scouts, in addition to many other civic endeavors. Nancy Landon exuded both style and delight – she could as easily pull a prank on her children or grandchildren as she could ensure they understood the importance of grace under pressure. Her smile reflected her joy in life. She loved flowers and gardens, working for a time as a florist. She appreciated a glass of fine wine and celebrations with family.
She remained active in Greenwich until her move to Palos Verdes, California in 2010, where she lived for several years prior to moving to Portland.
She is survived by two sons, Peter Landon (Maureen) and David Landon (Janet); three grandchildren: David Landon, Jr., Victoria Burns, and Amy Landon; one great-grandchild, Madison DeAngelis; her sister, Sally Kahn; and brother, John Noble.
She will be buried in the family plot in Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis on August 20, 2022. Her strong spirit and love for life will be missed.
