be best described by a letter from one of her great grandchildren
“Nanny the Great fought very hard, so many times. She cared for
people, loved people, has an amazing family that she made. We love her
very much. Nanny the Great lived an amazing life. We will miss Nanny
the Great, she gave us love, happiness, fun and so much support. We
are all so very lucky to have known such an amazing lady and to have
so many memories to remember her. Now she gets to be with her
husband, parents, siblings and her dog Telly. Thank you Nanny the
Great”.
