Nancy Atkinson
Nancy W. Atkinson had 16 known crosswords in the Times, with at least one in each of the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.
Besides the Times, she was published by the Washington Post, the Register and Tribune Syndicate, and other outlets.
For the Bicentennial in 1976, she co-constructed a massive crossword in the shape of the Liberty Bell. Published in syndication across the country, the puzzle had 677 clues. Its answers included all of the U.S. Presidents, the 50 states, and a host of American history entries. She collaborated on it with David Appel, features editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Nancy Ellen Whittier was born in Maine in 1923. Her father was an executive at the advertising firm Young & Rubicam. Her mother was a homemaker. She graduated from Cornell in 1945 with a degree in English literature.
At Cornell, she met Ralph Atkinson, an engineering student. Nancy and Ralph married in 1945. In 1946, following Ralph's service as a Seabee in the Navy, the couple moved to Fort Kent, Maine, one of the state's northernmost towns. There they taught high school and were featured in a Liberty magazine article about teachers in rural areas.
In 1952, they settled in the Boston suburb of Winchester, Massachusetts, where they raised three children. All the while, Nancy maintained her family's ties to Maine, spending summers in Boothbay Harbor. In 1990, she and Ralph retired to Falmouth Foreside, Maine, near Portland. In addition to crosswords, she was an avid bridge player.
She passed away in 2021 at the age of 97.
