Nelle Frances Flanery Dishman
September 14, 1903 – January 31, 2003

Written by her son, John Dishman
Delivered at her funeral by her grandson, Peter Dishman

Nelle Dishman, also known to the many who came to love her as “Grandma Tex”, entered into eternal glory at 6:44 AM on January 31, after a very brief illness. Her 99 years of life can be summarized in a single verse from I Tim. 6:6: “godliness with contentment is great gain.” To all who knew her she was the epitome of a godly woman: warm, caring, loving and intensely interested in others, yet willing to share herself even with strangers. She accepted every adversity without complaint, while at the same time eagerly embracing each new opportunity.
