Atlanta loved and knew her best for her etiquette, a southern lady of charm. Nancy Rhodes was first class and liked to be called Miss Nancy.
According to the AJC, Mrs. Rhodes, 96, died Dec. 28 at St. Anne’s Terrace retirement home in Buckhead. The funeral will be 12:30 p.m. Monday at West View Cemetery, followed by a memorial service at 2 p.m. at St. Philips Cathedral. H.M. Patterson, Spring Hill Chapel, is in charge of arrangements.
One of Nancy Rhodes’ favorite compliments was to tell a lady she looked “tout ensemble,” a French phrase meaning that someone was well put-together and making a good impression. For 32 years, she advised Atlanta debutantes on proper etiquette. She also taught a class called “Gracious Living” at the Westminster Schools.
