Featured obituary:

Nancy Nobuko Matsumoto, nee Egami, born February 12, 1922, died May 14, 2018, of a sudden and short illness. Born in Moneta, CA, Nancy grew up in Pasadena, CA, the second oldest of three sisters (Sachiko, died 2017; Louisa, died 2006) and one younger brother (George).

With the U.S. entry into WWII, over 100,000 Japanese-Americans were sequestered into internment camps as a result of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s issuing of Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942. After the internment had been in place for a time, the U.S. Government’s War Relocation Authority started to address how to resettle those who had been displaced. After being released from internment, Nancy led the Egami family immediately to Chicago as one of a few U.S. cities where “Nisei” were allowed to live after having lost their homes and suffered tremendous indignity resulting from Executive Order 9066. Non-Government organizations also provided support and assistance for these displaced citizens, and word spread among the Nisei community throughout the U.S. about Chicago.

After about two years in Chicago, the Egami family moved back to Pasadena when they were allowed to. Ultimately, Nancy returned to Chicago where she met Frank Matsumoto, and the two were married shortly thereafter, making the “Windy City” their home. It was tough going at first, but eventually Nancy established a long career with the Federal Government in a human resources capacity while Frank went to work for the Chicago Tribune, making a career there until his untimely passing in 1989.

They lived in Evanston until around 1981 when they moved to the northern suburb of Glencoe where Nancy continued to live until 2006. In later years she lived in independent living and then finally in skilled nursing until her passing on May 14. Nancy made friends easily and spoiled her many nephews and nieces, by whom she is survived as well as by her brother, George.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Robineau Residence, 7550 Kostner Ave., Skokie, IL, 60076.
