Who was Nana?
Yes, the character of Nana was a real person...
Nana was Gretchen's grandmother. She was a true Florida Native. Rose Huddleston was born in Bradenton in 1926 and moved to Englewood in 1935 with her family. The Huddleston’s were fisherman in Lemon Bay. Rose graduated from Venice-Nokomis High School at the age of 16. Nana went on to marry Roy Tate, another pioneer family whose family created Tate’s Market on Dearborn Street in Englewood. The Tate family continued to thrive in Englewood with Baker’s Lumber Company. Rose loved to volunteer in the community. She served as a candy striper at Englewood Community Hospital and served as the corresponding secretary for the Lemon Bay Historical Society.
Sadly, we lost Nana in 2020 at the age of 94. A life lived well with so many people she brought joy and stories to over her life. Today, Nana lives on through our food trailer Nana's Bananas. Something she would find to be a fun and silly concept. Our banana Sweet Home Nana is ode to Nana's love of cooking. She loved to make Banana Pudding among many other Southern classic recipes.
