Nellie and Gordon were happily married for 63 years. Nellie loved the Lord and enjoyed reading her Bible and prayer journaling. She prayed for the community as well as family and friends. She loved her red nail polish and having her hair done with a perm. She loved spending time with her family and caring for her grandchildren as they grew up. She will be greatly missed by many. There was surely a reunion in heaven.
