Nada enjoyed sewing for her kids and grandkids when they were younger. She loved doing crafts, painting holiday shirts, canning, and reading. She was a great cook and baker, and everyone especially looked forward to her holiday baking. She loved all things Disney and took her last trip to Disney World at the age of 82. She spent many hours putting together family photo albums, but her favorite thing to do was spend time with her family. Known as “Nanny” to most, you could find her in the bleachers and/or audience watching her grandkids and later her great-grandkids as they competed in various sports and activities throughout the years. She loved all the holidays when everyone was together, with her birthday and Christmas being her favorites. Nada was a beautiful, strong, and kind soul who left us too soon.
