{In Remembrance: Nana}

My Nana, Winnie Moore Hinkelman, passed away Sunday morning, September 19, 2011. She was a sophisticated, cultured, well-read woman who instilled a love for reading, art, and music in my mom. In turn, my mom instilled a love for those things in me. It is my hope that Tyson & I can continue traditions that my Nana & Grand-dad started with their family and pass them on to our family on day.

She touched many lives, and she will be missed by all who knew her. I'm so proud of her & all she accomplished throughout her life. From working in a lab in the '50's, to having 6 kids in 8 years, to being a docent at Stanford for 30 years, she has accomplished many amazing things. Most important of all, she had a family who loved her and cherished her.

I will always have special memories of my Nana, and I'm so thankful for her impact on my life.

I love you, Nana.








Madly in love after 61 years together. 
Lord, may that be Tyson & I.

    Hello Genny... Thank you for posting such a beautiful recollection of my mother and her life. I am so happy that she was at your wedding. She was so pleased to see you get married and that she could be part of your special day. If I wanted to get a copy of the picture of me walking Mother down the aisle, can I down load it from your blog or could you send it to me?

    Love, Uncle Mark

    Uncle Mark,

    Done & done! I just emailed you some photos of Nana. :) Thank you for your comment. It's my hope to continue her traditions with Tyson. We're currently on the hunt for a table to put a large dictionary on. :)

    Love you,
    Genny
