Nanette loved to travel and spend time with her group of friends from the Burke Senior Center and the Morganton Recreation Department, taking numerous bus trips all over the country and then coming home to tell her family about what she had seen. She also loved to garden, spend time with her family, and never turned down the chance to watch her grandchildren play ball.
