Nellie E. Hunter, 102 years and 364 days old, entered her heavenly home with her Lord and Savior with her loving family by her bedside on Friday, July 30, 2021. Her devotion to her family and her firm belief in God supported her in her recent illness and ultimately gave her a sense of peace.
Nellie loved her Savior, the Lord Jesus, with all her heart, and she loved God’s Word. Nellie was a powerful prayer warrior, and only heaven knows what a wonderful and eternal impact all her many years of faithful praying have had on her family, her friends, and the world at large. With a servant’s heart, Nellie would care for many people in her lifetime, always putting other’s needs before her own.
She left a legacy to her family of God’s amazing love and grace and was an example to all who knew her.
