It is with great sadness that I inform you that Cindy Cowan, former Executive Director of Nellie’s lost her long battle with ovarian cancer.
Cindy died on Saturday May 25, 2013. She will be remembered for her tireless work to improve women’s living conditions and removing barriers to safety and equity.
All Staff and Board members of Nellie’s are mourning the death of our former Executive Director.
