Nannette Ford Obituary

Nannette was born August 2, 1962 in Portsmouth, VA, a daughter of Fred A. Benjamin and Helen A. Stevens Benjamin. She made her career as a Job Coordinator with State of SC Vocational Rehabilitation. She always especially loved to visit and play with her grandson, Alex. She also loved fishing, painting and the arts, and collecting shells at the beach. She was a drummer and enjoyed playing music and was a lover of monkeys and clowns. She was always a believer of other life out there and that we are not alone.
