Nettie was a meticulous housekeeper and a skilled seamstress, learning to sew on her mother’s old Singer sewing machine. She was a great country cook as were all her sisters and her pound cake went quickly at family events. Nettie’s hand stitched quilts are works of art. Her heart was filled with unconditional love for her sons, her husband, her parents, her brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, friends and neighbors, and her Dan River Primitive Baptist church family.

Nettie fought the good fight. She kept the faith and finished the course telling us she loved us. We are so blessed to have had her with us these many years. Her love and kindness touched and influenced the lives of so many.
