Jean, better known as Nana, had a heart of gold. She was a faithful Christian who lived by faith and God’s wisdom. She was never self-serving but rather lived to serve others. Nana was adventurous and loved telling stories about her family. There was never a shortage in her love for others or her contagious laughter, nor her opinions or crazy puns.
