GORR NANCY DIANA Lifelong artist, classical pianist and mother of Walt Gorr (Pittsfield, PA) and Jon Gorr (San Diego, CA) -- passed away on May 18, 2018, at the age of 85. Born and raised with her twin sister, Louise Eisenbeis, in Mt. Lebanon, PA, Nancy graduated with a degree in Psychology from Carnegie Mellon University, then married Dr. Walter Gorr DDS and raised their boys in Moon Twp. There, she co-founded the West Hills Art League and was once featured on Saturday Night Live with her painted "Steelers fire hydrants." In the 1980's, Nancy moved to Morehead City, NC to fish and paint, and was an active member of the Carolina Artist Gallery, where much of her art is still on display and for sale. For over 50 years, she regularly mailed "Nancy-grams" to entertain and uplift the spirits of many folks living in confined conditions, and also wrote and illustrated a collection of "letters" from her tabby cat to her mother's dog. Nancy's playful spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew her. She is survived by her sons and grandchildren: Jonathan Gorr of Houston, TX; Henrietta (Hattie) Gorr of Morehead City; Walter Gorr of Delta, UT; as well as her “surrogate” granddaughter, Molly Edmunds of Aliquippa, PA. Nancy will be greatly missed by her family, communities of friends and artists, and the composers, fishes, plants, animals, dolls and flowers she celebrated with her art. Memorials will be held in Morehead City on June 16, 2018, and in San Diego. Contact family for details. Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb
