Nedra was a member of Pilot Club International and 4-H. She was very active in the Brownies, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts chapters, as well as school PTA and school volunteer activities. She was a devoted member of Chamberlayne Heights United Methodist Church.

A woman of unwavering faith, Nedra was the heart of her family, and the embodiment of genuine, selfless love and grace. She had a special way of bringing out the very best in everyone she knew. A true renaissance woman, she had innumerable talents and a very creative and artistic personality. She was an extremely gifted writer, and everyone's editor of choice. She was an avid gardener, and enjoyed cooking, baking, sewing, ceramics, floral design, needlepoint, entertaining and traveling, and was an expert in genealogical research. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

A private graveside service will take place at the family cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to Chamberlayne Heights United Methodist Church, 6100 Chamberlayne Road, Richmond VA. 23227.
