The executive director of the Augusta Museum of History, Nancy Glaser, recently passed away, the museum's board announced on Tuesday.
Glaser had been with the museum since 2005 and oversaw new exhibitions
and programming and worked with downtown businesses and nonprofits.
"She loved telling the story of Augusta to current and future generations," according to a statement from the museum. "She believed anyone who walked in could be a student of history."
Glaser served on several nonprofit boards, including the James Brown Academy of Musik Pupils.
"Nancy loved watching the students learn Mr. Brown's songs. Many could see her often tapping her foot and singing along during the summer J.A.M.P. concerts," according to the statement. "Nancy became a hometown fixture for history and knowledge of Augusta and the surrounding area. She took enthusiastic pride in every object and story that came into the museum."
Funeral arrangements were not immediately available Tuesday afternoon. The museum statement did not elaborate on the circumstances of her passing.
