Yes, you read those dates correctly, Nellie was 103! Since 1984 Nellie has been my good friend and for many of those years my work mate. We met at Seven Springs when we both were working for Kettler Forlines, the builder developer of Swiss Mountain and the Villages. Nellie had an effervescent and inspiring personality. Many homeowners will remember her as our new construction model and 7 Springs resort on site hostess. She greeted potential new homeowners and warmly welcomed back all past visitors.
I recall her blessing my new beau, Robert Wags Wagner in 96 and celebrating our wedding in 1998. We spent many wonderful days together and celebrated years of holidays, challenging times, and life. She loved PEOPLE, Boston terriers, was President and longtime Garden Club member. Flowers were her passion.
Nellie’s favorite saying, “Cherish your yesterdays, dream your tomorrows, but LIVE your todays!” I hope in your lifetime you will come across another person with such a positive attitude or maybe you are lucky enough to carry a piece of her happiness within your heart like we do…..
