I met Ms. Nona when I went to work at Southwestern Bell many many years ago. She always had a smile on her face and was so cheerful. I am blessed to have known her.
Ms Nona will be greatly missed by family and friends, but never forgotten. What a day it must have been when Ms Nona, Ms Ollie and Ms Peggy met. A beautiful friendship was born. Always for each other. Oh! the signal ICE CREAM TIME.
Aunt Nona touched so many hearts and I'll never forget her. She was such a special person and I admired her for taking care of her mother. She will be missed by all.
Love to the family,
Linda Wann Nix
Larry and I were so blessed to have known Miss Nona and call her our friend. There wasn’t a kinder more loving person on this earth. She delighted in greeting everyone at church and being a part of God’s followers at First United Methodist Church. Her place in Heaven is being occupied by a very special angel and servant of the Lord. May she rest In peace and joy as she’s reunited with her mother and brothers in God’s presence.
Such a very sweet Lady! Miss your hugs!
