“Nana”, as all who knew her, was loved and adored by her family and many friends. She was a loving Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and friend. Always greeting others with a smile on her face, she never met a stranger. She was genuinely a kind, sweet person and anyone that knew her loved her. She enjoyed traveling and cruises, including Alaska, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean. She also loved watching her favorite baseball team, the Braves, attending several games in Atlanta. Dancing, “shaking a leg” with her brother, Tommy was also one of her favorite past times. We will miss her so very much and would like to thank her wonderful Caregivers and the many friends that dropped by Nana’s Place to spend time with her.
