On December 10, 2009, Nancy Dobson Grossman Anderson passed away peacefully in her home.
She enjoyed 82 wonderful years before a brief illness ended her life – something she described as “ graduating.” Nancy summed up her life simply: the good daughter of Gladys and Frank Dobson; the loyal sister of Evelyn Reed and Ellen Schmidt; the devoted wife of two fine men, Rex Grossman and Bob Anderson; the loving mother of her children, Jill, Dan and Dobby Grossman and step-son Craig Anderson. She was the proud grandmother of ten and the amazed great-grandmother of nine. Nancy was a graduate of University High School and Indiana University. She was a founding member of the Bloomington Boys Club Auxiliary, a member of Psi Iota XI philanthropic sorority, and a Golden Arrow of Pi Beta Phi sorority.
Over many decades, she was a member of First United Methodist Church, where she was married, her children were christened and confirmed and where her family celebrated weddings and gathered over memorial services. Nancy was a Republican precinct committeewoman and Indiana State Convention delegate, a member of Navajo Club and the Bloomington Women’s Club, and a community volunteer for Meals on Wheels and many other good causes. One of her greatest joys was following sports. Nancy was a spectator extraordinaire from T-ball games at Bryan Park, to swim meets at the Bloomington Country Club and the I.U. Natatorium. She enjoyed soccer and hockey games, state high school football championships, Arabian horse shows, baseball at Wrigley Field, professional golf tournaments and Super Bowls.
