many nieces and nephews from all over the country, who all enjoyed her poolside snacks and
hospitality.
A celebration of life will be held on Friday, March 29 th at 4:00 – 7:00 pm at Charley’s Waterfront Cafe in
Farmville, VA. Please join the family to toast Nan and to let her feed you too much food one last time.
Just please somebody make sure that you make Donnie a plate.
There will be no “in lieu of flowers”, as Nan loved flowers; send ‘em all. If you are inclined to make a
donation in her name, please do so in her honor to the Alzheimer's Association to help fight the disease
that started to take her from us, or to the Susan G Komen for the Cure for the disease that took her in
the end.
The family would like to take a moment to give a special thank you to Deborah Brooks, Michelle Brown,
Hospice of Virginia, and the countless other caregivers that they have encountered on this journey.
Thank you for making Nan’s last few years of life as light and full of joy as possible.
