Nellie was inquisitive and liked to see new places and try new crafts. She made friends wherever she went. She was a long-standing member of St. Stephen's United Church, Oshawa.Nellie encouraged her children to be the best they could be and instilled her values in them.In her retirement years Nellie spent winters in Poinsettia Park, Fort Myers, FL with her husband Jacob. These were special times for her and Jacob. She was so involved with all the activities in the park. She loved Florida and the sunshine.She painted, rode her 3 wheel bike, played shuffleboard, danced, sang, played bingo, went on day trips and had her own orange trees! She was truly the Snow Bird. One of her paintings was donated in her memory to The Wynfield – Purple Woods. Nellie's last home for the past 8 years was on Purple Woods in The Wynfield LTC in Oshawa. The care she received there from all the caregivers, rec. staff, nurses, hairdresser, social workers, therapists, was beyond exceptional. They were family to her. She played bingo, went on day trips, shopping trips, lunch, and outings with her family, celebrated special family dinners for holidays and, above all else... loved watching her Blue Jays on TV.
