She married Maurice Dale Tulloch in 1933 and they moved to Kansas City during World War II, where Maurice worked in a defense plant. Following the war, Nellie spent many years as a minister's wife, which she enjoyed very much. The church provided a natural outlet for her musical teaching and organizational talents. She spent 17 years working at Menorah Hospital's information desk when it was located in Kansas City, MO, and was a faithful and active member of First Calvary Baptist Church for many years. She was a loving homemaker, mother, and wonderful cook, and blessed with a feisty spirit, a delightful sense of humor and great inner strength. She will be missed and remembered always. A celebration of her life will be 5 p.m. Friday, January 19, 2007 at D.W. Newcomer's Sons Overland Park Chapel, 8201 Metcalf. Family and friends are invited to gather for visitation 4-5 p.m. prior to the service.
