Nannie had a love for animals, especially cats. She quickly became known as the Leland Cat Lady, and many folks dropped cats at her home. She graciously took them in and cooked for them.

Her sense of humor was like none other and she loved to make people laugh by telling jokes. Most times she would burst out laughing before the punchline was ever told.
