Nellie M. Beidelman

My mom, Inez Swartz, worked with Nellie for many years teaching release time classes. I remember many hours of helping my mom cut out flannel graph pictures. I, too, was a camper and then counselor at Harris Hill. Many, many fond memories of Nellie and Flossie. Thank you Nellie for your life of dedication to the Lord. We will see you again some glorious morning.

I was taught by Mrs. Beidelman as a very young child attending a two room schoolhouse. I remember enjoying the Bible stories and the pictures on her eisel. I'm sorry to hear of her passing, however, her life on earth was complete and time to be with the lord.

There are many of us in the Bentley Creek PA area that remember Miss Beidelman very fondly. She had released time classes at our elementary school for many years. She also led VBS schools for many years. God surely used her many talents in so many ways to bless us.
We will miss her but because of her many of us will meet her again in heaven. May God bless her family.

I praise God for the woman Nellie Beidelman was here on earth and I know she couldn't be happier than she is right now. Harris Hill was a part of my life for 13 years. As a young camper and eventually as a counselor I couldn't wait for August to come each year. The wonderful memories and people I met are still in my thoughts today. I truly believe that everyone who had Nellie in their lives are better people for it.

My condolenscences to the family. It is because of my having the opportunity to attend the release time program at Big Flats Weslyean that I was exposed to the Lord and his teachings. I feel that because of that opportunity at the young age that lead me to my Christian walk today. I have strive to give my children the Christian values that I grew up with because of the opportunity given to me. Heaven has received another fabulous angel. May God comfort you in this difficult time

Nellie was such a part of the first 18 years of my life....Childrens church, VBS, Release time, Harris Hill and just looking across the church and seeing her face week after week. Nellie had a true impact on the Elmira/Horseheads area. No one could tell a story like her. I still wish I could get copies of her stories to keep her missionary stories going. Thanks for your impact on my life. I look forward to seeing you again in heaven. What a faithful Christian woman and role model you were...

Helping Nellie with the bus ministry was truly a blessing. She was wonderful with the children. I have many fond memories of her. She is with her Lord now.

Nellie was a great lady and friend. She was a shining light for the Lord. She made summers at camp very fun. I'll miss you Nellie but I know that you are having fun with every one in heaven.

I am truly thankful for Nellie. I got saved thru her flannel board stories. While she will be missed, the saints are rejoicing and one day I'll be there with her. Thank You Nellie.
