NEW YORK—To honor the memory of Gloria Nicola, 20/20’s former senior editor for eyewear, who passed away last month, 20/20 Magazine has established a fundraising page in her name.

The fund supports the efforts toward pet rescue and adoption of North Shore Animal League America and is inspired by Nicola’s love of animals, cats in particular. The new fundraising page enables donations to that cause.

Nicola, who retired in September 2014, covered frames, sunwear and accessories for nearly three decades. She was admired and appreciated by designers and executives from boutique companies to major industry players and fellow journalists. Many recalled her talent and generosity (via social media and in VMail since the news of her passing) , at the age of 74, on July 19.
