Ellen Nettles Obituary
Dee survived cancer three times over the past 18 years, the first time being pancreatic. She was the definition of perseverance. She had a way of making the world a safer place and she was beautiful inside and out. This world might continue to spin madly on without her, but I assure you that it does not spin with the same energy.
Dee is survived by two children, Robert Eugene (38) and Jon Douglas (45) along with a daughter in law that she claimed as her own, Lillian Marie (38). These children expanded their family by nine more: Joseph, Logan, Sofia, Jon, Joe, Mia, Timothy, Lyle, and Lawson.
Dee is also survived by her mother, Doris, her sister, Becky, her two brothers, Aaron and Philip, along with her lifelong best friend and cousin, Sheila. Dee was also married twice and loved them both deeply. Gary Nettles and Jon Moore were the people they were supposed to be at the time they were supposed to be, and she had great relationships with both until the day she left this world.
The family will greet friends from 10-11 a.m., Tuesday, May 16, 2023, with an 11 a.m. Celebration of Life service to follow at Thomas S. Lowther Funeral Home & Crematory, Vero Beach.
This isn't goodbye Momma; it is until we see you again. Our memories will have to do, our memories alone will get us through. Just thinking of the times when it was you and me, & me and you, against the world.
Love you always, -The Kids
Arrangements are by Thomas S. Lowther Funeral Home & Crematory, Vero Beach. An online guestbook is available at www.lowtherfamily.com Ellen "Dee" Oveida Summerall Nettles
