Nellie Lena Wall, daughter of the late Harvey and Mary (Peoples)
Swofford, was born June 29, 1911 in Brumley, Missouri where she grew up
and attended school. As a young girl, Nellie accepted the Lord Jesus
Christ as her Saviour and was baptized.
On March 24, 1936, Nellie was united in marriage to Claude Wall and they were blessed with two daughters: Alice and Evelyn.
Nellie worked hard to provide for her family. She was employed
as a Civil Service employee in the laundry facility and retired from
there after 22 years. In her spare time, she enjoyed working outside in
her gardens, sewing and reading different books, but especially her
Bible. She attended the First Christian Church in Waynesville until her
health permitted her from doing so.
Nellie went home to be with her Lord at 4:27 P.M. in the Phelps
County Regional Medical Center in Rolla, Missouri at the age of 95
years, 2 months and 10 days.
Nellie will be sadly missed, but fondly remembered by her two
daughters: Evelyn Keen of Waynesville, MO and Alice Teubner of Lebanon,
MO; one brother: Harold Wayne Swofford of Stover, MO; numerous
grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren;
several nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
In addition to her parents, Nellie was preceded in death by her
husband; one brother: Roy Swofford; an infant sister; and one grandson:
Kevin Cassidy.
