Jean Nassano, a grocer and kind neighbor, dies
When the basket of flowers came to Jean C. Nassano's hospital room last week, her famil y wasn't exactly sure who sent them.
But when they checked later, their guess was confirmed: The flowers had come from a new neighbor across the street.
"This little girl had moved in and she was pregnant," said Mrs. Nassano's husband, Norman. "(Mrs. Nassano) was wanting to reach out to them. . .so she picked up a little outfit for the ba by."
"She was accepting of everyone and any kind of situation," said her daughter, Julie Lawson, of Tipp City, Ohio.
Mrs. Nassano, 66, of Bellevue, died Sunday at St. Luke Hospital East, Fort Thomas.
But when people think of her mom, they'll think of her mom and dad together, Ms. Lawson sai d.
Together, they owned the Deluxe Food Market in Bellevue until a few years ago.
"My mom and dad were a team and everybody knew that, everybody in Bellevue," Ms. Lawson sai d.
Norman Nassano would agree.
"I've had 45 years together with her and they've all been good years," he said.
