I'm sorry to hear of Ms McClains passing. She was always an encouraging PE teacher and always had a smile. I also took care of her as a patient for her yearly visits. She always tried to take good care of her health. Sweet lady she will be missed.

Ms. McMclain, probably one of the kindest ladies I've ever known. She encouraged me to be the best at anything I tried. She is part of the reason I went into teaching Physical Education. I loved the many times we just sat and visited about everything. What a great friend. Will miss you dearly Nancy,(which she told me to call her, though it never felt right!) Until we meet again!

Ms McClain was one of those teachers that you always remember. She was our Hussars sponsor and PE teacher. She supported and taught us... and was an important influence during our high school years. I'm thankful that we knew her. Rest in Peace, Ms McClain.

I loved Nancy so much! I was her clogging teacher from 2000-2013, when she had to stop because of health issues. She was so much fun to be around and was a bundle of energy. She will be missed by many! You have my condolences.

Nancy McClain will always be a part of my memories from my Class of 1962, TJ High School days. Especially the Hussar memories. She was tough, but always got the best out of all of us. She loved clogging and fishing. She always kept active and involved. She will be missed.

Ms McClain as my PE instructor you inspired the "rebel" in me to become active in Women's rights. I have fought for them with you in mind As my tutor in how we could make a difference if we just stayed strong. Thank you for being the person you were. TJHS class '63.
