She was 95 years, 5 months, and 6 days old. Nellie Lee was the second of five children born to Carl H. and Dora (Parchen) Niemeyer October 10, 1924 in Jefferson Precinct west of Rulo, Nebraska.

To this union two sons were born—Ronald J. and Sidney L. J.D. was inducted into the Army in June 1942 during World War II. He was discharged from the Army in December 1945.
