Today our grandma, Nellie Faye Mallonee Watkins would have turned 92 years old. We lost her in May of 2007 to cancer. She raised 5 boys, buried one baby girl and had an unwavering faith in God. I was lucky enough to get one of her Bibles....amongst the scriptures she would write down, were recipes and little notes from her sisters about patterns. She loved to crochet, sew and visit with family. She and grandpa always made a big garden on the north side of their house...and she was a big canner. She'd often say 'go down in the cellar and get a jar of this or that'...when we were younger.
Here's a pretty picture of her amongst her roses, possibly sometime in the 70s..(hence the glasses). Also, a snippet of the video we played in her honor at her funeral. I miss her.
