Nena is survived by her pride & joy, her son, Brian (Kathy), and her grandchildren, Brianna (Ben) & Jacob (Emily), who were her sunshine. She loved them as much as life itself and she will be missed by them dearly. Nena was devoted to her family and always put them first. Nena was a giver and never expected anything in return.
