Nonie was a dear friend for many years. She started out by being my Avon Lady but ended up being much more. She always amazed me with the energy she had and for the talent she had with gardening and decorating. To her family, especially her nephew Clyde Ellis, who was devoted to his aunt, my husband Sam and I send our deepest condolences. Barb Mallow

Nonie was the most gracious and welcoming of neighbors when I purchased my house on Hanna Avenue in the early 1990's. I will be forever grateful for her kindness and her sense of humor. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of this truly remarkable woman.
