So saddened to find this obituary. Nettie was my mom Charlene's first cousin. About four years before she passed away, Nettie shared with me our Talbert family tree and all the years she spent researching. I have used to create an even bigger family tree on Ancestry.com. I cherish all the records that she gave me. God bless you Nettie and God be with your family.

I will always remember listening to Aunt Nettie’s Elvis albums, she knew every word. When I hear an Elvis song or see a Elvis movie I think of her :relaxed:.

Nettie was one of the sweetest people I've ever known. My prayers are with her family as they learn to live without her.
