We affectionately called  Nellie, Aunt Nellie, as our families were close. I remember Aunt Nellie hosting weekend bar-b-ques  while Uncle George grilled the goodies. Aunt Nellie was a wonderful friend  to my Mom &  gave her wonderful counsel. Her greatest pride was the wonderful children she and Uncle George raised. Her son, Mark and I reminisce about all those good times as he ensures my dental health. Rest In Peace, Aunt Nellie.  And for those that grieve, remember, Jesus said, “ Come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burden, snd I will offer you rest.” I am sure Aunt Nellie walks hand-in-hand with Jesus, the Creator, and the Holy Spirit. 

Mrs. Schott was my first teacher when I moved to New Orleans during 6th grade. She took me under her wing, helped me adjust amid the culture shock, taught me - or at least tried valiantly to teach me - how to diagram sentences (which I had NEVER done before), shored me up when I felt low, and celebrated all my little successes. I will always remember this amazing teacher and beautiful person I was blessed to know. Rest with God, Mrs. Schott, and watch over all the children whose lives you touched. 

She was one of my favorite teachers of all time.  I still credit my strict grammar to this amazing woman.  She was such a kind, loving figure in my life.  

I have fond memories of Mrs. Schott, especially my 6th grade year in the late 70’s. Sending my sympathies to her family. 

Paul,

Our deepest sympathy and prayers to your family.



                          Thank You, Mrs. Schott

Thank you, Mrs. Schott, for teaching me the grammatical truths of life. Thank you for firmly guiding my class to ensure there was no "monkey business" and everyone learned the lesson.
Thank you, Mrs. Schott, for instructing me in the art of creative writing.
Thank you, Mrs. Schott, for attending the 1987 Papal Youth Rally with my 7th grade class at the New Orleans Superdome. I will never forget it!
Thank you, Mrs. Schott, for encouraging me in my teaching studies.
Thank you, Mrs. Schott, for continuing to guide me in my faith as an adult by ministering the Eucharist at St. Dominic Church. I will never forget you.

Ken and Mark, please accept my condolences on the loss of your Mom. I've come to understand that losing a Mom is a grief most suffered in our lifetime. When I lost mine, I found solace, knowing that who I have become is because of her unending nurturing. I hope your comfort comes steadfastly and with a celebration of a life well-lived.

With sadness,
V. Frank Colangelo





Mike,
Gayle and I are saddened to learn of your mothers passing - your family can take solace knowing that she lived a long and fulfilling life and touched and guided so many people. 
One of my fondest childhood memories was us hanging out together at your house and being graciously invited by your Mom to stay for dinner - her warm demeanor and effortless hospitality left an impression on me I have never forgotten.
I feel my meat loving passion originated in the corn beef, steak and and roast consumed at these impromptu invitations for dinner.
The Lakeview community simply won't be the same without one of its original pioneers - Rest In Peace Mrs. Nellie




Rod Stewart playing on the stereo next to her living room chair, The two of us singing  “Some where over the rainbow” and the books we read together when her eyes started getting heavy.  I will carry these  moments with me always.  I’m thankful for the time that I came to love her.  I will always keep her in my heart.  I’m. so happy to know she is at peace.  I love you Nellie  Bellie.

It was so much fun to run into Nelly at World Deli where she commanded the central table often in the company of Lynn. She was quite a woman.   Marc and Sherene Dahlman

I remember being concerned that Mrs. Schott would retire prior to my 8th grade year. She was a fixture at St. Dominic. Several of my friends who were a few years older had her as a teacher and had nothing but positive things to say. I am grateful to have been in her 8th grade class my final year at St. Dominic (1995-96). She was a wonderful, kind person. Every now and then, we could convince her to do the Time Step. I was fortunate to have many great teachers at St. Dominic, but Mrs. Schott--and her tap dancing--will always hold a special place in my heart.

Mrs. Schott was such a kind soul. I only had her as a substitute while my teacher was out on maternity leave in 8th grade, but she taught both of my older sisters. They always spoke so incredibly fondly of her. Anyone who took her class could see why. She cared so much about her students. Thank you for the lessons Mrs. Schott.

We will always remember the special roast dinners and play time at your house. Forever grateful for our trips shared to College Station. So glad we got to share many holidays and  outings with her.  May the good times shared with Nellie heal our hearts.  Nellie has been blessed with 96 years of LIFE!! I know George was waiting with his open.  We love you Nellie (Grandy)…

The entire staff at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home wishes to express our sincere condolences.
