Condolence From: Megan
Condolence: Although I never met Nellie, I received a special gift from her when I graduated from high school in 2005. She gave me a necklace that was given to her from her aunt, my great grandmother. This October, when I found out I was having a baby girl, my husband and I decided to name her Nellie, in honor of Nellie Jean. On February 17, we welcomed into the world Nellie Mae.

Condolence: I'll never forget the influence Nellie Jean and her parents, Icy and Lillian, had on me and my family. They were the kindest, most down-to-earth people you could ever hope to meet. I loved visiting their home and listening to the fascinating stories of their lives. I'm grateful to have been a part of their extended circle of friends and family.

Condolence: What a special lady! I,too, shall miss her. So many volunteer positions she held! I received my last message from her (a birthday card) & fortunately was able to send a Christmas message with thanks for her birthday wishes. I know she hated to give up driving but loved that the CAT MANDARbus came right to her door. Her spirit, even with her back pain, was to be admired.

Condolence: When I worked for the Columbia Arts Assn., Nellie was a wonderful, outgoing, hard-working gallery volunteer. She poured her heart into promoting and supporting community organizations that she believed in.
She is what I would call a "salt of the earth" person. She lived her values. Nellie will be missed by many she helped throughout her life.
My thoughts are with her family.
