Her endless patience and incredible empathy made her the person we went to for advice, a hug or just to see her beautiful reassuring smile. In big and small ways, her kindness touched and enriched each of us.”

Nneka’s tireless efforts during Emmy season, the pandemic’s pressures and the day-to-day challenges of our shooting schedule never rattled or upset her,” Valentini also wrote.
“She’d just shrug and say, ‘We’ll make it work, babe.’ And she did, always. Her absence will leave a hole in our lives — one that can only be filled by reflecting on all the wonderful memories that we’ve shared with her.” “Besides performing her plethora of responsibilities in increasingly higher-ranking positions within ‘General Hospital,’ Nneka Garland was also the show shepherd for the Daytime Emmys,” said the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in a statement.
