She was a Class of 1972 graduate of Franklinton High School where she was a member of the Demonettes dance team. Nan began working as a legal secretary in town before becoming a case file manager at the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office and later the Franklinton Police Department. When she retired, Nan was recognized for serving her community in law enforcement a total of 46 years, an accomplishment she was very proud of. In her spare time, she enjoyed tending to her flower gardens, fishing and traveling with her friends. Nan liked playing golf and had competed in numerous tournaments at the Franklinton Country Club. She always enjoyed going to parades, like the MCCA Mardi Gras parade in Bogalusa and all those in Franklinton, including the Washington Parish Free Fair parade each year. She would then move on to the fairgrounds as an FPD representative, serving families and her fellow officers for long hours each day of the Fair. Nan often wrote poems for those close to her, which she created at special times in their lives, like weddings, retirement ceremonies and other meaningful occasions. She cherished all the time spent with her family and adored her grandchildren, who affectionately knew her as “Nonna”.
