Nellie was a true friend through many years. I met her in California and loved her visits after I moved to Oklahoma. I loved to hear her tell of the early days when they moved west. What an inspriation! She spent her life for the things that matter - and now we trust a righteous God that she has gone to her reward. Again she is an inspriation in death as well as in life.

I am honored to be the niece of such a great person. She was always so cheerful and positive. I will always remember her quilting and reading her bible no matter what was going on around her. She is one of the few people I can remember that has been in my life since a small child. I will miss her annual trips to Tulsa but know she is in a better place.

We will miss her yearly trips to Tulsa. We always looked forward to spending time w/her and visiting over a diet coke and some kind of "snack". She leaves us all with alot of wonderful memories. I am so grateful that my daughter got to meet her and know what a wonderful person she was.
