Nellee Byers

  Nellee Byers passed away on May 7, 2016.

  Nellee was born in Chillicothe, Ohio on April 20, 1936. She moved to Arizona in 1970 and called this place home.

  Nellee loved the Arizona desert with its beautiful mountains, always mentioning the flowers on the cactus.  She loved her birds which frequented outside her window. Her favorite companion, though, was her Kitty Sweetie Pie.  She was always amazed at the beautiful sunrise, but her favorites were the sunsets and taking drives to find the best spot to view. 

  Nellee was also known for her beautiful voice, playing, and teaching the guitar.  She loved singing “Crazy” by Patsy Cline and many others.

  Nellee was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1967.  Her first love was teaching people about Jehovah God whether it was on the phone, door to door, or to anyone who would listen.  Her faith in Jehovah God kept her strong through her trials which was evident right up to the end of her life.

  She is survived by her children, Gary Byers, Nellana Byers (Potter) and Chandee Byers (Burton); grandchildren, Justin Scott, Dakota Scott, Bobbie Byers Lake and Shannon Golda Byers; and sisters, Rose Mattox and Ruth Mattox.

  She was preceded in death by Walter Byers, William Price, Robert Byers, Frank Mattox, Hazel Mattox, Leora Mattox, and Charles Mattox.

  Memorial services were held at the Winkelman Kingdom Hall, 508 Giffin Ave., Winkelman, Arizona 85192 on Saturday May 14, 2016 at 2 p.m.
