• 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.

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.
