CELEBRATIONS AWARDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

There’s a story behind every smile...

Nancy Whaley Memorial Scholarship Award CLEAR LAKE — Alysha Walker, a 2010 Clear Lake High School graduate, was awarded a $1,000 scholarship from the Nancy Whaley Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Alysha is a student at North Iowa Area Community College, studying criminal justice, and is the daughter of Doug and Kendra Walker, of Clear Lake.

The Nancy Whaley Memorial Scholarship Fund was established through the Clear Lake/Ventura Area Community Foundation, an affiliate of the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa.

Income from the fund is used to provide one-year scholarships to qualified

female graduates of Clear Lake High School, who have attended and been confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church.

The scholarship was established to memorialize the life Nancy lived, according to a news release.

“Nancy was a rare individual who truly believed that ‘Life is a Gift’ and gave so much of herself to others throughout her life,” said Mark Whaley, Nancy’s husband. “In particular, she enjoyed the young ladies she affectionately referred to as her ‘little darlings,’ while serving as a small group leader for confirmation classes for female, high school students at Zion

Lutheran Church,” he added.
