Nellie was a homemaker.
Nellie was loved by many and she thought the world of her children and grandchildren.
Nellie had three special friends that were always there for her, Nancy Swan, Jenny Hood and Sandy Rawley Page. She also had two girls she thought of as daughters, her niece, Pam Shaw and Lily Powell. She considered Hershel and Beulah Jennings to be her second parents.
Nellie always put a huge garden in. She loved to cook big meals and canning. Her green tomato pickle relish was the best and lime pickles were also really good.
“Mom’s in heaven cooking something for Dad. Mom when I get to heaven, I want a big glass of your famous sweet tea. Go rest high on that mountain and tell Dad and Erik hi.”
Nellie was a member of the Vermont Christian Church in Vermont.
