I have many fond childhood memories of time spent in the Story house and in the backyard playhouse. My family used to live across the street. Linda and I went to school together. Steed taught us how to shuffle cards. Mrs. Story always had a cookie for us.

We miss seeing Mrs. Story sit on the front porch with Linda or taking a stroll to the mailbox and occasionally coming over to sit on my front porch for a chat. She enjoyed the children in the neighborhood so much and her sweet, sweet spirit is certainly missed.

I was rather new to the bowling league, she always went out of her way to speak and make me feel welcome. Nellie's presence was a delight. Miss you Deborah

I am so sorry for the loss of Mrs. Nellie. She, along with my momma Pearl Thrift, were angels on this earth and are now angels in a much better place. My mom considered her to be a second mother and they were inseperable at times. The bowling world will never be the same without either of them here. May God be with the family and help them through this difficult time. We love you Mrs. Nellie and you will be missed.
