Nevelle Vess Obituary

Published by Legacy on Oct. 5, 2024.
Nevelle Loretta Vess went home to be with her beloved Savior on Thursday, October 3. She is survived by her husband, Tony Glyn Vess currently of Round Rock, Texas and her brother, Neil Cross of Houston, Texas. Preceding her in death were her two daughters, Kimberly Dawn Vess and Stephanie Gay Phillips, and four of her brothers and sisters: Norman, Nick, Nelda and Nona Vilous Johnson.
Nevelle was born March 30, 1939, and she and Tony were married August 8, 1959 and enjoyed working, worshiping, and living life together.
Nevelle was a life-long member of the Lutheran Church. During the 42 years that the couple lived in Dallas, Texas, they were members of Messiah Lutheran, and then of Lord of Life Lutheran. Having moved from Dallas to Round Rock earlier this year, she was residing with her husband at The Court senior living community.
Nevelle enjoyed her work for Amigos Bibliographic Council in Dallas, Texas, and made many friends before her retirement in 2001. She enjoyed walking, bicycling and listening to music. She loved butterflies and to play the Star Spangled Banner each morning.
