Nellie enjoyed being part of the neighborhood association when they had one, and was a proud member of the Riverwalk Church of Christ. She married J.B. Scott in 1966 in San Antonio, Texas. They had two daughters, and Nellie's greatest love was caring for her family. She enjoyed reading, gardening, studying history, writing, visiting, teaching Sunday School classes and photography.

Scott; daughters, Angelia (Allen) Sherertz of Wichita and Coetia Batarseh of Arkansas; sister, Shirley Warn of Wichita ; grandchildren, Stephanie Thrush, Scott Sherertz, and Rachel Sherertz; great-grandchildren Taytum and Aiden Thrush; and many nieces and nephews.
