Nancy Plageman is gently smiling proof that giving makes good happen. Her generosity has improved lives for people all across Virginia, and through the inspiring compassion of her individual spirit she motivates others to become involved, too. Her generosity has improved lives for people all across Virginia, and through the inspiring compassion of her individual spirit she motivates others to become involved, too. As both a volunteer in the flower shop at St. Mary’s and a board member for the Bon Secours Richmond Health Care Foundation, Nancy demonstrates the broad vision of her willingness to give--she is always ready to respond to where the need is. "It’s my privilege to be able to help," she says, deflecting any attempt to speak too much about her remarkable philanthropic efforts. When Nancy learned about the need for a critical care transport vehicle at St. Mary’s Hospital, she wasted no time leading the way. By inviting friends to a fundraiser at her home, Nancy raised substantial funds for a vehicle with a mission not unlike her own--to move purposefully in the community and help people in need.
