Nancy Ann Schott

Nancy Ann Schott (nee Bash) grew up in New Kensington, PA, the daughter of William Martin and Dorothy Watt Bash. She graduated from New Kensington High School, Class of 1953, and attended Penn State University and Chatham College. Nancy married Conrad Schott of Arnold, PA, and they were married for 63 years until his passing in 2018. Their corporate moves took them to Pittsburgh, then to Rochester Hills, Michigan, and returning to Pittsburgh to raise their children. They were active members of the Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church, the Church of the Palms Sarasota, and Oakmont Country Club. Nancy was involved for many years in the Food Ministry of the Sarasota Church and served as Deacon in both churches. Nancy was President of the P.E.O. Chapter in Oakmont, PA, and a current member of the P.E.O. Chapter in Sarasota, FL. The P.E.O. is a philanthropic women’s organization that supports women seeking educational financial assistance. Nancy was also a former member of the Sarasota Garden Club, the Fine Arts Society, and Friends Thru Books. Nancy was honored to have served as a Guardian Ad Litem in the Florida court system, a program dedicated to providing Florida’s most vulnerable children with a voice and advocacy to protect each child’s interests. For many years Nancy co-partnered with her daughter as the owner of The Monogram Express in Fox Chapel, PA. Her friends of many years were important to her and remained close until her passing. She is survived by her daughter Laurie Meister of Sarasota, and her son David Conrad Schott, (Tara Ames) of Castle Rock, Colorado. Her beloved grandchildren, Campbell Eisele Meister and William Bartley (Bart) Meister of Sarasota, and her step-grandchildren Chance, Tanner and Grace of Castle Rock, CO. Nancy is also survived by her brother Barry Bash (Alice) of Biloxi, MS, niece Cathy Domitrovic of Apollo, PA, nephew Barry Bash, Jr. of Ocean Springs, MS, and of course, Finn (aka “Mr. Boy”), her beloved dog. A memorial service will be held in May in Pittsburgh. It is “goodbye” dear Grandma. We will love you always. Please make a donation in Nancy’s name to Nate’s Honor Rescue on Lorraine Rd.
