What an angel she was......We loved her so much. I will always have the wonderful beauty shop memories where we had coffee and tea together every week and solved all the problems in the world. We laughed a lot with our friend Sue Elkins. Weda came away looking beautiful as ever. Kenneth and I will miss you and all the light you brought to our lives. You were a true definition of what a real lady should be. We love you forever. Forever prayers to Marvin, Marty, Vickie and her precious grandchildren.

I’m praying for this precious family, as Weda Nell’s passing will leave a great hole. She was truly one of the most caring people anyone could have ever known. She took time to train any child in her home, I remember staying with her as a child and learning to make the bed before leaving the bedroom, to this day I can’t stand an unmade bed. Many thoughts and prayers for the family.

Weda was an amazing woman. So full of life and love. I don't think she ever met a stranger. She loved to go camping on the creek and ride 4 wheelers! . My brother Tommy spent many nights with them. She sewed Tommy cowboy shirts one year. He wore those shirts out! She was an accomplished seamstress. She made many beautiful pieces. She always seemed to have a smile and a chuckle. An nem! She will be greatly missed.
