Nannie Doss: Not Your Average Granny

Nannie Doss’s love life was something that would become her life’s identity. As an escape from her abusive childhood where her father made her quit school to work on his farm, she would always read her mother’s romance magazines and dream of finding a husband one day. Her dream would come when at 16 years old, she married Charley Braggs, her coworker, after only dating for four months. Bragg’s mother insisted on living with her son even after they got married. This stressed Nancy out immensely as his mother took up all of his time, as they had four daughters in this tumultuous relationship. Suddenly in 1927, two of her children and her mother-in-law died from mysterious circumstances. Charley took one of their daughters and left for good. Nancy was consumed with anger and was now set out to punish who wronged her.
