Nancy Lee (Weeks) Koss

The tennis loving, teenaged Nancy Weeks met the love of her life, John C. Koss, while still attending High School. The couple dated before marrying in 1952. She is credited with helping her husband John birth the Koss Corporation. In 1953 the couple invested $200 to create the Koss Hospital Television Rental Company. The money represented the couple’s life savings and was used to purchase broken televisions to repair, and rent, to Milwaukee hospital patients.
In 1958, Nancy's unwavering faith helped create a product that changed the way people listen to music: The World's First SP/3 Stereophone. She was known to bake Royalite earcups for the headphones in her kitchen oven before cooking meals for her husband’s musician friends that gathered to assemble the first SP/3 models.
A devoted mother, Nancy Koss had five children in six years, and went on to become a Grandmother to fifteen grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
