Nancy Jane Ludwig Tedder Koger, who with her late husband, Ira Koger, was one of the leading patrons of the arts in Jacksonville, died Thursday. She was 90.
"There are very few [arts organizations] in Jacksonville that don't have the Koger imprint on them," said Robert Arleigh White, executive director of the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville. "The list just goes on and on. Their passion for the arts and for making Jacksonville a stellar city through the arts was perhaps unmatched."
In the early 1960s during a visit to Atlanta, Mrs. Koger paid $35 for a small ceramic dish that she thought her husband could use as an ashtray. Instead the tray inspired the pioneering office park developer to begin researching Asian art, particularly Chinese ceramics.
When the Kogers donated 400 pieces from their collection to the Ringling Museum in Sarasota in 2001, the donation was valued at more than $10 million.
Mrs. Koger had suffered a heart attack on June 29 and was taken to Baptist Medical Center-Beaches, said Lou Ritter, a former Jacksonville mayor who was her first cousin. She never regained consciousness, he said, and died early Thursday.
She and her husband were credited with saving the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra from bankruptcy in 1969. They helped found the St. Johns River City Band and established the program in American music and jazz at the University of North Florida.

They also gave money in their native South Carolina to build the Ira and Nancy Koger Center for the Arts on the campus of the University of South Carolina.
In 1973 the Kogers built a wing for their collection onto what was then the Jacksonville Art Museum, which had been built on land they donated. When the museum, renamed the Jacksonville Museum of Modern Art, decided to move downtown in 2000, the Kogers bought the building and opened their own gallery.
But a lack of financial support led them to close the gallery a year later and donate much of the collection to the Ringling Museum.
In all these endeavors, the Kogers functioned as a team, said her grandson, Jacksonville lawyer Wade McKnight "Wycke" Hampton.
"She was completely involved in all of it," he said.
Ritter described her as a "total genuine warm person" who was "the great lady behind a successful man."
Mrs. Koger's family moved to Jacksonville in the late 1930s, Ritter said, and Ira and Nancy Koger settled here after marrying in 1939. Ira Koger was a pioneer in developing business parks nationwide and founded Koger Equity, a real estate investment trust.They made their home in recent years in Atlantic Beach. Ira Koger died in May 2004. One daughter, Celeste Koger Hampton, also predeceased Mrs. Koger.
She is survived by a daughter, Pamela Koger Moore, of Jacksonville, five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. today at Hardage-Giddens Funeral Home, 4115 Hendricks Ave.Services will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at Riverside Presbyterian Church, 849 Park St. Internment will follow at Oaklawn Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to WJCT TV-7; the Department of Music at the University of South Carolina; or the Jacksonville Humane Society.
