She also loved the theater, particularly musical theater and Broadway tunes. “Nana”, as her family lovingly called her, was a devoted supporter of every single one of her grandchildren's events and cherished their annual family vacations to Wisconsin. She was known as a safe space for anyone who came to her home.
