Nellie Deane Brennan Hopps

Everyone should have an Aunt Nellie, come one come all, day time ,night time, lunch dinner or breakfast time, got problems lets talk it out....coffee, bowl of beans and the best Cocunut Creme Pie you have ever had. Put yur jammies on early, stay of late listening to stories of the old days,some exaggerated a little but we all knew she liked to tell it the way she seen it. I loved her so much and will miss her hospitality and picking up pecans. If everyone had an Aunt Nellie, then you would...

I AM SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR MOTHERS PASSING. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HER AS A PERSON WHO MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS ALWAYS PART OF THE FAMILY.SHE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY THOUGHTS,AND MY MEMORIES OF HER WILL BE MANY. YOUR FRIEND OF MANY YEARS LEONARD

If I could do one thing for the world, it would be to make sure that everyone have an aunt like my Aunt Nellie. The epitome of down home common sense blending charity and humor, Nellie was mother nature, Our Miss Brooks and Dinah Shore rolled into one big framed red head.
I loved her, and her boys. Always have, always will.

Dear Family,

Our sympathy goes out to each one of you. Wish we could have shared these moments with you.

Aunt Nellie had a good life. Always fun to be around giving advice and learning new things. Always looking out and thinking of others. We always enjoyed visiting her and talking till late at night. She always had interesting stories to tell.

May God comfort you during this time.

Love, Earlene, Helen and Aunt Sarah
