Nellie will always be remembered as a warm and caring person. Whenever I was invited to stay for dinner she would make delicious meals and I would especially enjoy the desserts she would buy from Pepperidge Farms, like the cakes or the bags of Godiva chocolates. She was ready to lend an "ear" if you needed to talk things out too. She would always have something nice to say and had an optimistic attitude. She loved keeping house and worked hard at it. She will be lovingly remembered for her many kindnesses to me and others.

I would like to express my deepest sympahty in the passing of your mother. I worked with Nellie at Pepperidge Farm in the seventies and came to know her as one of the most caring, giving people I have known in my life. I also spent some time with Nellie later in her life when she would come to Fairfield to visit with her friend Mary Biehn. Mary would bring Nellie to any event that was being held by the Southport Woman's Club and we would chat and reminisce and laugh. We always laughed when Nellie was among us. I will miss her.
