Notes for NELLIE SNELLGROVE: Nellie was one of the most relaxed, happy ladies you would ever want to meet. She never met a stranger, and if you spent 5 minutes with her, you felt like you had known her all your life. Nellie did not have a mean bone in her body. She could find a redeeming feature in everyone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nellie had serious heart problems. An attempt was made to correct them, but she did not survive the surgery. She was going on 73 years old. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More About NELLIE SNELLGROVE: Attended Church at:: Jena First Baptist Church Burial: July 07, 1984, Waters Cem., Taylor Co., FL.
