Lee, Nan A. Nan was born on November 11, 1936 in Minneapolis, MN to William W. and Helen B. (Shaules) Rooney. In her youth, Nan was involved in several extracurricular activities including choir, drama and the girls' athletics association. After graduating from Washburn High School in 1954, Nan went on to become a devoted wife, mother and Nana. Nan and her husband, Richard, built a successful business in the southeast Phoenix area owning 29 Taco Bell franchises. Nan was an avid golfer with a passion for traveling with her family. She could often be found spending time with her grandkids or shopping at Dillards where the sales people knew her by name. She was actively involved in her church and devoted much time volunteering for several organizations including Meals on Wheels and Paz de Christo. Nan was incredibly energetic and generous in spirit and spent much time throughout her life in service to her community. Those that were blessed to know her will remember how her infectious smile could light up a room and turn strangers to immediate friends.
