Obituaries Nancy Charles 1946 — 2018 PHOTO PROVIDED • Janit Brockway has passed the torch to Harmony Thomas, the new proprietor of Bedouin. Thomas says that she is bringing the core values she learned growing up in Sisters to the business. She is excited to be back in the community that she loves. She notes that she was raised here and has known Janit since she was a child and will be forever grateful to Janit for being the chosen one to pass the baton to. The clothing brands will stay the same, and the essence of the store will carry on. Navigator News will continue to serve cof- fee, and will eventually become the Good Day Café, operated by Thomas’ hus- band — who is a skilled chef. “Business roundup” provides notice of new business openings, reloca- tions, and new ownership.

Nancy Jean Charles passed away May 21 in Sisters after a long battle with Parkinson’s and Lewy Body Disease, with Andrew, her husband of 11 years, at her side. Nancy was born to Irene and Sam Charles in Santa Barbara, Ca. and grew up in Tustin, Ca., graduating from Tustin High School in 1964. At the age of 20, upon hear- ing that United Airlines was hiring flight attendants, she accompanied a friend to an interview. Nancy at 5'9" was told she was too tall to be a flight attendant, but made such a positive impression that she was hired on the spot to work in ticketing and res- ervations. Nancy spent the next 34 years with United Airlines, culminating in her position as Supervisor of Ground Operations at Santa Barbara Airport until her retirement in September of 2001. Shortly after, Nancy returned to school at Santa Barbara Business College where she graduated first in her class. With a passion for kids and athletics, she went on to serve as assis- tant administrator at the Paige Youth Center in Santa Barbara. Nancy and her hus- band, Andrew, have lived in Sisters since 2007. Nancy is survived by husband Andrew, sister Judi; son Rob and daugh- ter-in-law Katie, son Tim and daughter-in-law Shruti; and grandchildren Kieren, Dillon, and Maaya. Nancy will be remembered as a devoted mom, wonder- ful wife and sister, and a great friend to so many. A Celebration of Nancy’s Life will be held later this summer.
