As the eldest daughter Mary Evelyn Jones Ridgley and her husband John were fortunate to live close and care for Nellie in the last years of her life.

Nellie was also dearly loved by her (adopted) kids Dee (the other Mary Evelyn) and Pete McGreehin.

Nellie will be missed by numerous relatives and her church family from Red Doors Baptist Church. She led the singing there for many years. Nellie loved to sing and had many friends among the Rainbow Singers. Her beautiful voice will be leading the angels now.
