Nancy lovingly watched many children in her home over the years, including her grandchildren. A true southern cook, Granny enjoyed making memories with her family and friends through home cooking, making meals her family would never forget.

She spent many hours working outside in her garden tending to her flowers and plants. During her time at Twin Lakes, Nancy was very social and made many friends, and she also discovered her love of art. She would spend many hours making beautiful artwork for everyone to enjoy.
