Nellie P. Montgomery, age 95, went home to be with her Lord, on Friday, Feb. 26, 2016.
Mrs. Montgomery was a steadfast Christian lady, who was always very humble, happy, and never complaining. She attended church at Fourth Street Church of Christ in Tuscumbia. She taught for many years at Little Red Hen Kindergarten and later Little Chick Pre-K School. She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother that lived her life by her values, being the most unselfish person, caring for others, and setting a high example for all of her family. She enjoyed her retirement years working in the Volunteer Service at Helen Keller Hospital.
The visitation will be 1-3 p.m. today at Spry Memorial Chapel, Russellville, with the funeral following at 3 p.m. in the chapel with Bro. Jeff Abrams officiating. Burial will be at Tharptown Cemetery.
