Nan was the granddaughter of the late Raymond and Helen Fanning of Waterbury. Mr. Fanning was the former editor of the Waterbury Republican American.

Nan was retired. She graduated from Albertus Magnus College in New Haven and thereafter worked at Anthem and other companies. Music was her love and her solace.

Nan and her Mom had a wonderful bond. They were each other's touchstone. Lisa loved her dearly. We will be re-joined in Heaven.
