Nancy Tod, member of renowned Youngstown and Ohio family, dies
YOUNGSTOWN
A community leader who also was part of one of the Mahoning Valley’s founding families has died.
Nancy Brockett Tod, 97, died Monday night. Her husband of 67 years, Fred Tod Jr., died in 2008.
“She was a wonderful mother,” said Sallie Tod Dutton of Youngstown, one of the couple’s daughters. “She was devoted to my dad. I know everyone says that, but back in those days, it was seen as sometimes even more important than catering to your kids.”
Fred Tod Jr. was a great-grandson of David Tod, the Ohio governor during the Civil War, and a grandson of William Tod, who helped develop the iron and steel industry in the Valley.
Nancy Tod was active in several organizations include Planned Parenthood of Youngstown, the county’s mental health board, the women’s board of the former Youngstown Hospital Association, the Garden Club of Youngstown, the Junior League of Youngstown and was a member of St. John’s Episcopal Church.
