REMEMBERING NANCY HUGHES PROMINENT LAKE FOREST RESIDENT AND WIFE OF ICONIC FILMMAKER JOHN HUGHES DIED SEPTEMBER 15 AT LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL, LEAVING AN ENDURING LEGACY OF PHILANTHROPY IN THE CITY SHE LOVED. EDITED BY ANN MARIE SCHEIDLER AND SHERRY THOMAS THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND
Beloved longtime Lake Forest resident, mother, grandmother, and friend to many Nancy L. Hughes died on September 15 at Northwestern Memorial Lake Forest Hospital. The 68-year-old was the widow of the late screenplay writer, director, and film producer John Hughes, and devoted her recent years to honoring his memory through philanthropy. “Nancy Hughes was an enthusiastic and kind woman who deeply loved her family and community. She was a generous and dedicated philanthropist. Her contributions to Lake Forest—the hospital—Gorton Community Center, Deerpath Golf Course, and most recently, the Hughes Gateway at the beach—were foundational, leading to significant participation by many of her fellow residents, and improving the city in a permanent way,” said George Pandaleon, Mayor of the City of Lake Forest, when reached for comment. “Nancy exemplified the love of Lake Forest and its spirit of philanthropy that we all share.

Three years later, they were married—Nancy at 19, John at 20. After they both worked a series of odd jobs, John found success in Chicago advertising— eventually gaining employment as a creative director before transitioning into screenwriting, telling stories comprised of observations from the young couple’s lives and shared experiences on the North Shore. The affinity the couple shared for their community was known around the world as the towns of Northbrook, Glencoe, Winnetka, and Northfield were seen on the big screen through John’s lens. With such films as The Breakfast Club, Home Alone, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, John became a filmmaking icon and brought Nancy along with him. In 1988, he released the semi-autobiographical Continued on PG 10
