She was born March 13, 1929 in Liberty, Putnam County, daughter of the late Harold Barnette and Eva Katherine Fisher. She was a sales clerk for several area retail stores and a homemaker. Surviving: daughters, Sheila Thornton Bias (Craig) of Ripley and Shirley Whittington (Woody Baldwin) of Winfield; grandson, Charles Savilla; great-grandchildren, Manny, Chase and Johna Savilla. She also loved her pets, Sissy, Punkin, Diva and Roxie. They brought her great joy and comfort. The family would like to extend a special thanks to cousins Roy and Wanda Fisher and Richard and Bernice Shinn. Nellie looked forward to their daily conversations. Their faithful inquiry and support to the family was appreciated beyond measure. A very special thanks also goes to her long-term caregiver, Eileen Tackett, who became one of the family. It was Nellie's wishes that no public service or visitation be held. Honoring those wishes, she will be cremated and a private family service conducted at a later date.
