She was proud of her Cherokee Indian Heritage and nurtured everyone around her with "Nonnys" tightly squeezed hugs, Immense wisdom and her remarkable ability to make nearly everything with her hands, such as handmade clothing, ceramic pieces, crocheted sock monkeys and teddy baars (because she couldn't say bear).
