She worked in a variety of jobs throughout her life, but always enjoyed working and volunteering at the Leonardville Nursing Home.  Her grandchildren were her life. Nana was a free spirit. She was an incredible storyteller with the gift of humor. Her creative side was displayed by her arts and crafts and drawings. Nana was authentic, a genuine human, a comedic hippie, a bona-fide gladiator, and the matriarch of the pinky clan. PINKY!! The Nan, the myth, the legend!!
