Nellie Wallace

Nellie Rose Wallace, age 84, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, she leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, kindness, and family traditions that will be cherished for generations. She found her greatest joy in her family, especially in helping raise and care for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her home was always a place of comfort and togetherness, where Sunday dinners brought everyone around her table. Those meals, filled with laughter, stories, and her unwavering warmth, remain some of her family’s most treasured memories. She loved God’s beauty in nature, often taking delight in the simple wonders of butterflies, birds, and flowers. Her appreciation for creation reflected both her gentle spirit and her faith. Some of her happiest moments were spent on evening drives with her husband, enjoying the quiet peace of the countryside together. Anyone who visited her home will fondly remember her parting gesture—walking loved ones out and waving until their car reached the end of her driveway, a symbol of the love and care she poured into every relationship. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her. She was cared for by a wonderful team with true servants hearts at Tippah. We take comfort in knowing she is now in the presence of her Lord, reunited with loved ones who have gone before her, and resting in the eternal peace of Heaven.
