Nana, as her grandchildren called her, had a lifelong passion for gardening, finding joy in nurturing plants and watching them grow. Her garden was her sanctuary. It was filled with vibrant flowers, blossoming trees, and an abundance of life that reflected her own spirit. She took great pride in sharing the fruits of her labor, whether it was a bouquet of freshly cut flowers or homegrown vegetables she gifted to family and friends.
