CRISPY SLAW

While KATHLEEN GANDY SHEFFIELD was born in White Settlement, Texas, her firstborn grandchild ISABEL “IZZY” KATHLEEN SHEFFIELD (Nashville, Tennessee) loves that her Grandma now lives close to her and her sister in Nashville. In fact, it’s close enough that Grandma and PawPaw are the girls’ favorite babysitters. Izzy shares that when she turned two, it was Grandma and PawPaw who bought her a pretty pink tricycle, complete with all the must-have accessories a girl could want.
