"Nana", as most people knew her, was a faith-filled woman who loved life and was the kindest woman who never met a stranger. Her grandkids were her pride and joy; most of the time having one in tow with her. Whether a football game, baseball or dancing, "Nana" was there because she was their biggest fan. She enjoyed getting together with friends and family to say the rosary and her favorite pastime was sitting on the swing watching the grandkids play and feeding her beloved chickens. As "Nana" would say, "Keep the Faith".
