Brief Sketch of Life
Nena Michelle Torrence was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, on August 18, 1973. She was the oldest born to Rene and Carl Torrence.
She attended grade schools in Dallas, Texas and Indianapolis, Indiana growing up. She graduated from North Central High School in Indianapolis, Indiana. While there Nena participated in the school choir and led the choir with her beautiful voice. After high school she attended Vincennes University to further study business. Later went on to graduate Indiana Business College with her associate degree in accounting. She continued to explore her many talents and attended Cosmetology school where she started her career in the beauty industry.
Nena was so creative and multi-talented, literally a jack of all trades! There was nothing Nena couldn't do. Tell her she can't do something; she'll do it twice and take pictures! Nena was loved by her family and friends. The life of the party and the listening ear or helping hand to those she loved. Nena loved dancing. She was always somewhere dancing to her own beat. Whether it's one hundred people or just her in the room alone, she was going to be unapologetically and authentically "Nena T"! She also had a love for singing. Nena was a God-fearing woman, who led the choir with her anointing spirit and captivating voice. In her down time, she enjoyed painting and creating. Her artwork was a re5ection of her and always came out a masterpiece. Nena was a one-of-a-kind gem. Her genuine die-hard love for her family and friends is what made her a joy to experience.
As she grew older she was blessed into motherhood and welcomed her greatest gift to the world, her one and only Ahnna! If you knew Nena you knew Ahnna. The two shared an unbreakable bond that was so special the whole world could see it. Nena was always so proud of Ahnna and all her accomplishments. Nena absolutely loved to share her joy about Ahnna to any and everyone who would listen. The mother daughter duo was one to admire. Not only was she the best role model for Ahnna she also touched the lives of Ahnna's friends and treated them as her own. Giving them the Nena experience! Nena may have only had Ahnna but in reality, she was momma Nena to many and will truly be missed.
Nena loved to travel throughout her adult years, her and Ahnna would travel the states enjoying life together. Then Nena found her person, her Sammie! Her and Sam had a bond that was perfect just for them. They traveled the world together and shared 10 years of some of the best memories to be cherished forever. Nena was preceded in death by her father, Carl W. Torrence Sr.
