Ancient Nancy White Wheeler Includes Miss Porter’s in Estate Plan

Nancy White Wheeler ’90

Nancy, at the age of 49, may seem a little young to be thinking about making a planned gift to Miss Porter’s School, but Nancy has had a will since she was 18. And a bequest to Miss Porter’s has always been in it.

Nancy’s belief in the importance of stating one’s last wishes grew out of a summer job at Surrogate’s Court in NYC in 1990. Her work sorting out bank accounts of people whose money would become the property of New York City was “eye-opening,” said Nancy.

“One of the ways I can do some small part to empower women and the success of women is to support women who come through Miss Porter’s. That’s truly what’s on my mind.”
