Nettie was born in Olustee, Oklahoma, to Tom and Pearlie Mae Agan. Nettie was the youngest of five sisters and the older sister to one brother. Nettie was a wonderful mother to her son Jerry. Nettie married the love of her life, Earl Dudley in 1947 at Vernon, TX. They lived a long happy life gardening, traveling to the mountains and fishing together before he preceded her in death in 1989. She loved family gatherings and her house was the place to be whenever everyone came to town. Nettie had many nieces and nephews who loved her very much. She was always full of words of wisdom, advice and laughter. Nettie was a longtime member of First Baptist Church Amarillo. She had previously worked for Dunn & Bradstreet. She loved gardening and cooking for her family.
The family wishes to express their gratitude to the exceptional care that Nettie received from the nursing staff and doctors on the seventh floor of BSA as well as the entire staff of BSA Hospice. Our hearts were greatly touched by how much love was shown to Nettie and our family.
Survivors include her son, Jerry Mayes of Amarillo and numerous nieces and nephews.
