Nellie graduated from Smiley High School and attended the University of Mary Hardin Baylor.
She was a dedicated employee of the Harris County Clerk’s Office from which she retired after 30 years of service. She was an active member of the IT May Community Center, and a huge Astros fan.
She enjoyed feeding and watching hummingbirds, reading books, and doing crossword puzzles (without cheating!)
The joy of her life were her two grandsons and her great granddaughter whom she absolutely adored.
