October 18, 1936 — December 7, 2022

A Celebration of Life for Betty “Nana” Lee Stanford, 86, will be held at 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2022, at Rose-Neath Funeral Home, 2201 Airline Drive, Bossier City. Visitation will be held from 4:00 p.m. until the time of service. Officiating the service will be longtime friend Daniel Nelson.

Nana was born Oct. 18, 1936, in Portsmouth, Ohio, to William “Bill” Taylor and Ruth Yeagle Taylor. She entered eternal rest on Dec. 7, 2022, surrounded by family and friends wrapped in her Dallas Cowboys blanket.

Nana was a loyal patron of Café USA. In her free time, you could find her getting her hair done by her long-time friend, Tonya Fielder, enjoying a Starbucks, or catching up on The Bold and the Beautiful. Nana was known for her servant’s heart and found the most joy in volunteering her time with her great-grandchildren and making memories with her loved ones.

Nana is preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Paul Stanford; her beloved pups, Daisy and Salem; granddaughters, Taylor Atkins and husband, Christopher, Alexi Wooten and husband, Evan; grandsons, Noah Rodriguez and Tyler Rodriguez; great-grandchildren, McKenzie Atkins, Levi Atkins, and Shepherd Wooten; brothers, George Taylor and John Taylor; daughter, Mary Freeland and husband, John; as well as countless other friends and loved ones.

The family would like to thank LifePath Hospice for the exceptional care and compassion shown to Nana, as well as anyone who contributed in any way over the past two weeks and made the family’s loss more bearable.
