Nancy Iona (Flint) Glick, 67, of rural Havana, Illinois, passed away Tuesday morning, June 14, 2022, after a long, courageous battle with melanoma.

She then returned to the United States to attend Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa, where she received her bachelor’s degree. She later received her master’s degree in library science from the University of Illinois. Nancy married John H. Glick of Havana (formerly Pekin) on June 7, 1980 at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Havana. After their marriage, Nancy moved in with John on the Glick family farm in rural Havana. She became the Director of the Havana Public Library and served in that profession for many years. Her husband John preceded her in death on July 16, 2007.
