Nellie was a 4-H leader and Extension club member. She won numerous awards for her skill and giving of her time and energy to those endeavors. She was a fair clerk for many years and an election judge, along with being a Sunday school teacher and active in the church.

“People really miss her. She was a quilter who inspired hundreds of people. I am really honored by this for her because she mattered to so many people in our community. She really touched people’s hearts and always had a smile,” added Rice.
