Ann Hamilton Nagler (“Nan”)

Ann Hamilton Nagler, 94, of Edgewater, MD, died peacefully at home, surrounded by family, on March 17th of complications from a stroke. Nan had a passion for athletics and later, dog obedience training. She began playing competitive tennis as a teenager, something she continued into her seventies, and was a skilled figure skater in high school and college. 

Nan met her husband, Ken, at the University of Chicago where they were both pursuing master’s degrees.

Nan competed in the early days of canine freestyle and went on to judge for the organization. Nan and Ken taught obedience classes for CTA and, over the years, they also worked with the Hyattsville Dog Training Club, the Washington Poodle Club, the Greater Washington Dalmatian Club, and the Rock Creek Kennel Club.
