Donation protected
Hi my name is Kathy and I'm fundraising for my wonderful mom& best friends funeral expenses& would appreciate any help you all can give. Nellie is pictured in photo above with the radiant beautiful white hair. I am Kathy and with her in one of our favorite photos with our doggies known as the Doodle Boys. Many of you locals may know my mom Nellie as Ma Ma Doodle & for years she did the Doodle Boys ministry at several events including bike week art festivals Christmas & Holiday events & on the boardwalk by Zenos gift shop. She was also an amazing minister and servant of God & that's why she started the Doodle Boys project with her 2 beautiful dogs Bichon Frise Oodle Doodle & Sheltie Snicker Doodle the original Doodle Boys then followed by Bichon Oodle Doodle who still lives today at 20 yrs old & Sheltie Hershey Doodle who became the new Doodle Boy when Snicker passed over the rainbow bridge in March 2017. Mom's Doodle Boys we're famous for thier awesome sunglasses & outfits which they wore willingly & loved to show off. Mom made it into the newspaper & the bike week magazine dedicated a full page to the doodle boys for The Doodle Boys Ministry Mom used her ministry to help others including people in nursing homes, assisted living facilities ,as well as the homeless projects she did through fundraising with the Doodle Boys ministry. I was honored to help my mom serve in these areas and will do my best to carry on her legacy and be a good servant to those in need. Nellie was 84 years old& her life was a blessed one most of her years in good perfect health & consisting of what she considered good times when she was serving and helping those in need. She served and helped people in so many areas including feeding the homeless, providing special needs items or gifts for those in nursing homes who had no families or outside financial support, ,making holiday dinners to share with the homeless at local parks . Every year Nellie would go to a different park with a van full of Christmas Dinner & we had a boom box for praise music and worship & she would invite all the homeless to have Christmas Dinner with us. It was so.much fun and a blessing She did the same at Thanksgiving and Easter. It was such a blessing and to me those times were the best holiday celebrations I've ever been a part of because it involved doing what was the true meaning of the holidays to give & what better gift can we give others and ourselves Nellie used to say but to serve a hungry person a nice meal. She was right it blessed the homeless folks majorly and it blessed us by serving them. Nellie was also an amazing annoited prayer warrior and minister & teacher of God's word. She not only taught God's word and prayed plus ministered to so many hurting struggling broken hearted people & to those with various disease & health issues but she also practiced what she taught and she lived the life of a servant for her Lord Jesus Christ. She loved Jesus and wanted others to experience and be filled with God's love and blessings too. She wanted everyone she met to have Jesus in thier lives and the way she shared the Lord through action service and her gentle hugs and love to those in need to the broken to the sick and lonely her unique way of ministering to people is what attracted many people to Nellie and she always had words of wisdom and God's unfailing love to share that helped many people . She would always be willing to pray for anyone and was an amazing prayer warrior and teacher of God's word. She helped so many people's lives change for the better because of her service in ministry and I am one of those she helped so much and am a better more independent person and servant for My Lord because of mom Nellie. I am changed for life and I know many of you all over in different cities and states can say the same thing Nellie had a definite positive impact on your lives if you knew her and for those who had the blessing for her to minister to you and pray with you to love on you and serve you I know you will agree with me she was one special beautiful lady so fill of God's love and service so eager to help people know Jesus and experience God's love so eager to demonstrate God's love not just by talking to people but by serving them and showing love and compassion. I was not Nellie's blood daughter . My blood father died when I was young just starting out in life it was devastating he was my only parent I could look up to because my blood mom was very sick from the time I was a young child and it was Nellie who took me in like her own daughter when I was injured. She never had any kids of her own but she was like a spritual mother to others and became my mom. If it wasn't for God using Nellie I would not have progressed and recovered from the pain and disability I suffered from to the independent person I am today nor would I have conqured my own demons of not liking myself struggling with fears and insecurities. My church in Ga & pastor helped me with awesome teaching and ministry but it was when Nellie took me in and not only showed me God's unconditional sacrificial love but taught me God's love and word not only through teaching but through action and deed that I became the changed person I am today no longer full of fears no longer unable to cope no longer hating myself and not even knowing why. Nellie helped me through all that and I was set free by God because of Nellie's unconditional Godly love called Agape love and because she never gave up on me or anyone she ministered too. Everyone deserved a chance in Nellie's eyes. Everyone was a child of God but she said they just had to be shown God's love so they would turn to God accept their Savior and learn to walk with God. She helped so many do just that and many we're healed of thier struggles and even sickness as a result of her love and her teaching us through not only her words of wisdom but through her encouragement and love as well. I will never forget her I will always thank God for her and I will miss her very much but she will live in my heart forever until we meet again in heaven and until then I will continue to use what she taught me and share the love and joy that she gave others and I will serve the Lord and continue the ministry she loved so much and helped so many with. Prayers are appreciated during this difficult time of just loosing my very best friend and mom Nellie who went home to Jesus on November 22 2021 at age 84 yes old She is survived by me Kathy Lettice her spiritual daughter. Her beloved Bichon Frise Oodle Doodle now 20 trs old our sheltie Hershey Doodle 4 yes old and the many extended church family at Be in Health Church in Thomaston Ga where Nellie used to minister and serve before.
