Nettie was a girl of questions. She found her way through life seeking answers about faith, life and family. Nettie enjoyed teaching the bible to her kids, children and ladies at church and her grandchildren. She enjoyed visiting with the kids at school where she worked as a cook for 29 years, and a teachers aid for 3 years. She loved her co-workers at Hiland, Winesburg, Mt Hope and Chestnut Ridge. Nettie loved the outdoors. Her first love was farming at her grandparents farm, however she also enjoyed, gardening, horseback riding, swimming, softball, baseball, ice skating, sledding and serving as a cook at Camp Buckeye for many years. To relax she enjoyed reading, and sewing comforts to give as gifts or for Project Linus.

Her passion was for her own children and all children to know Jesus as their savior and friend at a young age. Nettie was ready to meet her Lord and would love all of you to be prepared to meet him as well. As Nettie stated it, “the bible, the word of God will have all your answers, accept Christ’s truth, believe its word and confess your sins. Then live fully for Christ.”
