Nanny enjoyed her family, friends, playing bingo, playing Bunco, traveling, picking up lunch at Pete’s and the Anacoco Mercantile, visiting with her friends at the beauty shop, crocheting with Flo and enjoying her Tuesday lunches with Flo, Mable and Mavis.
Our Mom was an n Angel with a sweet smile. We will never forget an unselfish love that will live on in all the hearts she touched.
Nanny loved to treat her grandchildren to pancakes in the morning and a snack of her homemade peach fritters.
