Harry and Nannie were married in Hamilton, Ohio in 1964. They moved to Richmond, Indiana in 1968. Soon afterwards, they bought a little house in the Holsapple neighborhood. Nannie enjoyed taking care of her home, sitting in her rocking chair, listening to music, watching TV, reading the Bible, and tending her garden. She enjoyed taking walks through the neighborhood and having morning coffee with the neighbor ladies. Nannie was a cheerful, friendly person and a good listener. Oftentimes, when she went shopping, people would come up to her and begin talking to her about their lives. Sometimes, these people that she knew and sometimes they were strangers. Oftentimes, those strangers ended up being friends. Being a grandmother was one of her greatest joys; she took many trips to the park when daughter Donna and granddaughter Emi came to visit. She enjoyed watching her granddaughter play and giving her lots of hugs.
