Born April 18, 1941, in Milford, Delaware to parents, Donald Masten, and Mildred Virginia Paden; Nana made her way south to Texas in 1972.

Nana was a faithful Christian, spending countless hours studying scripture with her sister Cheyrl, and spreading the word of God (her favorite was Psalm 91). A passion for the water, Nana was also a distinguished servant of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary retiring as Flotilla Commander after an impressive 27 years.
