Rochester, NY – April 23, 2023 at age 94. Nancy is predeceased by her sisters Rosemary, Phyllis, and Laurel. She is survived by daughter Kelley Raab (Yvon), Ottawa, Canada, son Stephen Raab (Dana), Flagstaff, Arizona, and many loving nieces and nephews.
She was a graduate of the University of Buffalo, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree with concentration in mathematics.

So sorry to hear about your Mom’s passing. I remember her when she was teaching Math at Webster Schroeder High School (formerly HW Schroeder High School). I also remember her from her daughter Kelly. Kelly and I were friends in high school at Schroeder. I always remembered Kelly’s Mom as being refined well-educated woman.
Mrs. Raab was our across-the-street neighbor in Webster for many years, and helped get me through high school maths as a long-time tutor. She was always patient, and a truly excellent teacher. She was a lovely neighbor, too. I’m sorry to hear of her passing and will remember her fondly.
My condolences, thoughts and prayers to the Raab family. I didn’t have Mrs. Raab as a teacher but do remember who she was and that I saw her often in the former H.W.Schroeder High School, graduating class of 1977.
