Nettie had a "green thumb". She could make anything grow into a spectacular flower and always had the most beautiful yard in the neighborhood. She made many friends from those who stopped to admire and visit her yard. She was known as "The Flower Lady". Nettie was loved and will be missed by many nieces, nephews and lifelong friends. Donations to Hospice of the Calumet Area would be appreciated.
