She was a proud mother of her Boys Draven and Tyren who played for the Morning Stars Basketball team, she was always there supporting them with her cheerleading spirit and pom-poms in her Morning Star colors with a recognizable lulu everyone knew she had. Nancy Jean had a big heart with sharing her unconditional love with all her nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives as well as the Morning Star Boys basketball team. She took in whoever was in need, welcoming them in, asking if you ate, or giving you uplifting words and encouragement.
