Nana worked for Bob Chewning at Chewning Footwear where she met her lifelong friend, Lorraine Owens. She had many stories to share about their friendship. Nana taught Lorraine to drive a car in the Roswell Sears parking lot.
Nana went to work for Roswell Sears and had many good friends, especially Lee and Velna Rucker. She moved to San Angelo, TX in 1972 and worked for Sears for over 20 years. It was there she met her dear friend Mavis. Nana and Pop and Mavis and JW became traveling companions. They loved RVing and took several cruises.
