Nellie was a beautiful soul to her very core. Her love for family and helping others was unmatched by any. She touched every life she encountered in a way special to each individual. Nellie knew no strangers and any encounter with her was sure to result in a story, friendship, and parting wisdom. Nellie was beauty, kindness, and grace wrapped into one, further accentuated by her love of life and others. Her spirit was not dictated by her age and even in her final days enjoyed music and dancing long into the night. Nellie loved all and scorned none, and though many will remember her for her cooking, sewing, and teaching we will remember her for a smile. A smile that came from the heart and could warm even the coldest of night.
