Nana was known by her friends and family for many things. She will be remembered for her cooking, baking, and love she shared for others. She was a simple person who enjoyed Freddy Fender music, life and making the most of every day she lived. She would often make tamales for special occasions. She was very fond of everyone she knew especially her friends, neighbors, and her family.
