She was an awesome lady! I'd do anything for her growing up. She'll be sadly missed by many of us from Tulpehocken St. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the family.

Nanny was a great woman that I always enjoyed talking to. She could always make me laugh and always told it like it was. I will miss her feisty spirit and I hope she's resting easy. I know she will watch over her family and help them through this hard time. Things won't be the same without her. Always and forever Old Nanny!!
