Jean Lahti Nagle, MCC Foundation Board of Directors


I am deeply saddened to share news that Monroe Community College has lost a dear friend, MCC Foundation Director Jean Lahti Nagel. Jean passed away quietly at her home on September 10 after a courageous battle with cancer.  She is survived by her loving husband, Bill; her mother, Anne Lahti; her sister, Joan; stepchildren, grandchildren and nephews.

As co-owner of Nagel and Summers, Inc., Jean helped to elevate the stories of the MCC Alumni Hall of Fame inductees through her creative and inspired work on the videos which have become a signature feature of the MCC Foundation’s annual Salute to Excellence dinner.  We were fortunate that Jean chose MCC as an outlet for her energy and commitment to this community.  She will be missed. 

Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Lifetime Care Hospice, 3111 Winton Road, Rochester, NY 14623. Messages of condolence may also be sent to Jean’s husband, Bill, at 159 Commodore Parkway, Rochester, NY  14625.
