And all of those descriptive words do match who and what Nancy was (and more) Michael, thank you!

I am somewhat late to the map librarianship game, and even later to the map cataloging game, so I only ever had a small handful of exchanges, both virtual and face-to-face, with Nancy. Based on those few interactions, I'd built a pretty clear impression of her in my own mind: kind, gentle, thoughtful, knowledgeable, well-respected. Based on what I'm reading in this thread, it sounds like I was spot-on. I'm envious of those of you who knew more of her than I.

When I presented at 2019 ALA on a map cataloging project, I was so pleased and honored that Nancy (and Paige Andrew) came to my presentation and talked to me afterward. She knew the donor of the maps on the project I talked about, and said he had come to NYPL map library many times.
Even though I didn’t know Nancy well, she was always so friendly when I would see her at ALA. What a loss!

Hello,
It is a sad news. I worked with Nancy only for a short while years ago. Her depth in map cataloging or just in maps was tremendous. Though only a short time, I learned a lot from her.

I am also saddened to hear of Nancy's passing. She was one of the original MAGERT members and fulltime map catalogers. I always looked forward to seeing her at ALA conferences.

CAUTION: External Sender
We are deeply saddened to share that our beloved colleague Nancy Kandoian, map librarian at the New York Public Library's Lionel Pincus and Princess Firyal Map Division has passed away.
Nancy started at the Library 44 years ago as a map information assistant, and has been the heart of our Map Division ever since. Over her long and fruitful career at NYPL, Nancy helped shape the field of map librarianship, particularly through her tireless dedication to the practice of map cataloging, and her mentorship and training of countless colleagues both at the Library and across the U.S. Employing unending patience and devotion to her craft, Nancy’s contributions to librarianship will benefit our patrons for generations to come.
She was the consummate professional, expert at her job, dedicated to the Library’s mission and public service, and always kind, respectful, and thoughtful with both patrons and colleagues. Her generosity was also unparalleled—whether she was sharing her vast knowledge, taking the time to talk with colleagues, or passing out her (incredible) homemade baked treats. She will be deeply missed.
