Nellie Watt Obituary
Nellie M. Watt peacefully went home to be with her Lord on Sunday morning July 3rd after a valiant effort fighting lung cancer. Nellie was surrounded by her loving family in her home. Nellie's life was a true testimony for her love of Christ by her actions and deeds. Anyone who knew Nellie would talk about how much she loved her family and friends. Nellie never knew a stranger. Her love radiated wherever she went. She always loved having people to the house and enjoyed many meals, coffee, and conversation. Nellie was the most positive person one would ever meet and even until the end never complained even with her biggest challenge with cancer. She always kept a smile on her face. She loved the simple things in life such as the birds singing, catching a big fish, or just taking a drive up by the lake.
Nellie requested to refrain from adding a picture and wished for you to recall and celebrate her life with treasured memories. Nellie also joked that pictures took away her spirit so we honored her request with joy and laughter.
Nellie was born in Carter County, KY, on August 25, 1934 to the late James and Hazzie Sexton. Nellie was one of eight children, five girls and three boys.
She is survived by her husband Ted and her daughter Edwina "Winnie" Brewer (Joe), 2 sisters, Pauline Parker of Nevada, Laura Lewis of Carter, KY, Brother Carl Sexton (Marilyn) of Marion. She is also survived by grandchildren Ashley Tincher (Larry) of Ashley, OH, Kaylee Kepford of California, Tucker Kepford (Renee Prosen) of Marion, Jon Plotner (Lori) of Martel, and Terry Plotner of Sycamore. Step-grandchildren Phil Brewer (Jess) of Marion, Jake Brewer (Jill) of Marion and Jessica Brewer of Marion. Son-in-law Jerry Plotner of Martel, and four great-grandchildren. She also has several nieces and nephews whom she loved very much.
She is preceded in death by daughter Tamela Plotner, Martel, Ohio. Two sisters and two brothers: Marjorie Cooper of Kentucky, Frances Snook of Marion, Henry Sexton of West Virginia, and James Sexton of Kentucky.
Nellie moved to Marion in 1952. Working at the Pollock Steel and Peerless Cleaners before managing the Shrimp House Restaurant on N. Main St. in Marion.
In November 1954 she met the love of her life Ted A. Watt and they were married December 13, 1954 after just five weeks of dating.
